ORDER

On September 9, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued a
mandate (ECF No. 303) in this case reversing the grant of relief with respect to Petitioner Andrew
Sasser’s ineffective assistance of counsel claims, and affirming the denial of relief with respect to
Sasser’s claims under Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304 (2002). The Eighth Circuit’s mandate further
remanded the matter to this Court with directions to dismiss the Petition. Id. Sasser then filed a
petition for writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court. On May 23, 2022, the Supreme
Court denied the petition for writ of certiorari.
Based on the mandate of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, the petition
for writ of habeas corpus (ECF No. 48) in this matter should be, and hereby is, dismissed.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 6th day of July 2022.
