ORDER

HERNDON, Chief Judge:
Before the Court is the government’s motion for more definite statement
and for production of documents (Doc. 3). The government relates that it is
unable to respond to various allegations of petitioner without certain requested
information and documentation. Based on the government’s requests, the Court
GRANTS the motion and DIRECTS petitioner to supplement his petition with the
following:
1. The name, address, telephone number, and email address of the paralegal
referenced in paragraph 3 of petitioner’s affidavit (Doc. 1-2), and all
documents in his possession or under his control that would constitute
evidence of his allegations pertaining to the paralegal’s discussions with
said jurors, and to provide any and all evidence in his possession or under
his control that would evidence the hiring of said paralegal, and payment
for the services of said paralegal.

2. In reference to petitioner’s Claim 2 allegations regarding his prior
conviction in California for Assault and Battery, for which he says he pled
guilty on February 18, 1993, at which time he states he was 17 years old,
but his date of birth was mistakenly listed as 1972 rather than 1975,
petitioner is DIRECTED to provide the Court with a true copy of his birth
certificate; all documents in his possession or under his control relating to
the incident to which he refers; and all documents in his possession or
under his control relating to the prior conviction to which he refers
3. Finally, in reference to petitioner’s Claim 7, in which petitioner makes

DIRECTED to provide the Court with any documentation that supports his
claim.
