(IN CHAMBERS) Order to Show Cause

On December 20, 2018, Petitioner (through counsel) filed a “Motion for Leave to
Supplement and File a Third Amended Petition as Instructed Pursuant to Docket 17 for
Writ of Habeas Corpus” [Dkt. 58, “Amendment Motion”]. As outlined in the Court’s
Order of February 5, 2019 [Dkt. 72, “February 5 Order”], since that time, there has been
a series of mishaps and errors by Petitioner with respect to the proposed amended
petition. Among other things, the February 5 Order struck the filed proposed amended
petition [Dkt. 64] as a result of the cited problems and directed Petitioner to re-file the
proposed amended petition.
Over a month has passed since the February 5 Order issued and Petitioner has not
re-filed his proposed amended petition. As a result, there is no proposed amended
petition before the Court and no basis for granting the pending Amendment Motion, and
thus, it is subject to denial on that ground. Accordingly, Petitioner is ORDERED TO
SHOW CAUSE why the Amendment Petition should not be denied due to Petitioner’s
failure to re-file a compliant proposed amended petition. By no later than March 20,
2019, Petitioner shall either file a Response to this OSC, explaining his failure to comply
with the February 5 Order and why the Amendment Motion should not be denied, or he
shall simply comply with the February 5 Order. If Petitioner does the latter, the Court
will deem this OSC to be discharged and will consider the Amendment Motion.
