MEMORANDUM ORDER
Pro se defendant Hossein Obaei ("Obaei") has understandably brought attention to the
United States' delinquency in having failed to comply with this Court's October 7, 2014
memorandum order, which concluded by ordering government counsel to address Obaei's
original 28 U.S.C. § 2255 claims on or before November 10, 2014. Although this litigation has
had a checkered history in many respects, this Court sees no justification for government
counsel's having dropped the ball entirely by not responding to that directive. Accordingly this
action is set for a brief hearing at 9:15 a.m. February 12, 2015, with the United States Attorney's
Office to make arrangements for Obaei to participate in that hearing telephonically from FPC
Terre Haute, where he is in custody.
