SAVANNAH DIVISION
MARTIN J. BRADLEY, Jr.,
Movant,
v.

CV414-198
CR405-059

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent.

ORDER
In 2014, Martin Bradley, Jr. filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion
challenging his conviction for racketeering, money laundering, and
failure to disclose a foreign financial interest. Doc. 553; docs. 1531 &
1532 (double entry). His son, Martin Bradley, III also was convicted in
the same scheme and had filed a § 2255 motion the year before. Doc.
553; doc. 1494. The district court denied the son’s motion, and he
appealed. Bradley v. United States , No. 4: 13-CV-121, 2013 WL 6246775,
at *1 (S.D. Ga. Dec. 3, 2013), aff'd in part, rev'd in part, 2017 WL 237581
(11th Cir. Jan. 19, 2017) ( Bradley ). The father had adopted his son’s §
2255 motion as his own (docs. 1494, 1531 & 1532), so this Court stayed
the father’s case until Bradley’s resolution. Doc. 1536.

district judge’s ruling. Bradley , 2017 WL 237581 at *10 (11th Cir. Jan.
19, 2017); doc. 1550 (mandate). Therefore, the Court VACATES the
stay. Doc. 1536. Within 14 days of the date this Order is served, the
father shall brief the Court on any claims that remain in his § 2255
motion. The United States will have 14 days to reply. Movant’s failure
to comply may result in dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) and L.R.
41.1(b).

SO ORDERED , this 13th day of April, 2017.
