MEMORANDUM
This Court has received from the Clerk’s Office a photocopy
of the pro se communication that office had received on
February 21 from pro se habeas petitioner Tremayne Cora (“Cora”).
In accordance with Cora’s request in that communication, a
photocopy of his 15-page Certified Statement of
Conviction/Disposition from the Circuit Court of Cook County has
been returned to him.

In addition, this Court has been apprised

that the failure of his state post-conviction counsel Lee Boyd,
Jr. to have responded to this Court’s earlier directives was
attributable to the fact (obviously unknown both to Cora and to
this Court) that attorney Boyd had died recently.
In the meantime, counsel from the Illinois Attorney
General’s Office has advised that he is looking into the timing
questions about which this Court had been inquiring.

As soon as

a report is forthcoming on that score, this Court will determine

the appropriate next steps to be taken in this action.
