IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 13-cv-01891-BNB
RODNEY WAYNE JACKSON,
Applicant,
v.
GARY WILSON, Denver County Under Sheriff,
Respondent.
ORDER TO FILE PRELIMINARY RESPONSE
As part of the preliminary consideration of the Amended Application for a Writ of
Habeas Corpus Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF No. 4) filed on July 29, 2013, in this
case and pursuant to Keck v. Hartley, 550 F. Supp. 2d 1272 (D. Colo. 2008), the Court
has determined that a limited Preliminary Response is appropriate. Respondent is
directed pursuant to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United
States District Courts to file a Preliminary Response limited to addressing the affirmative
defenses of timeliness under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d) and/or exhaustion of state court
remedies. If Respondent does not intend to raise either of these affirmative defenses,
Respondent must notify the Court of that decision in the Preliminary Response.
Respondent may not file a dispositive motion as a Preliminary Response, or an Answer,
or otherwise address the merits of the claims in response to this Order.
In support of the Preliminary Response, Respondent should attach as exhibits all
relevant portions of the state court record, including but not limited to copies of all
documents demonstrating whether this action is filed in a timely manner and/or whether
Applicant has exhausted state court remedies.
Applicant may reply to the Preliminary Response and provide any information
that might be relevant to the one-year limitation period under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)
and/or the exhaustion of state court remedies. Applicant also should include
information relevant to equitable tolling, specifically as to whether he has pursued his
claims diligently and whether some extraordinary circumstance prevented him from
filing a timely 28 U.S.C. § 2241 action in this Court.
Finally, although Applicant is incarcerated at the Denver County Jail, the court
notes that he is challenging a parole hold in the instant action. If the named
Respondent is not the appropriate Respondent with respect to Applicant’s claim
challenging the parole hold, Respondent should advise the court who the proper
Respondent is and move for a substitution of party. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that within twenty-one (21) days from the date of this Order
Respondent shall file a Preliminary Response that complies with this Order. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that within twenty-one (21) days of the filing of the
Preliminary Response Applicant may file a Reply, if he desires. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that if Respondent does not intend to raise either of the
affirmative defenses of timeliness or exhaustion of state court remedies, Respondent
must notify the Court of that decision in the Preliminary Response.
DATED July 30, 2013, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
