UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION ROBERT P. CARICO, Petitioner, CASE NO. 09-10124 v. JEFFREY WOODS, Respondent. _________________________________/ ORDER DENYING PETITIONER'S MOTION FOR IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION On January 12, 2009, petitioner Robert P. Carico filed a pro se habeas corpus petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The pleading challenges Petitioner's conviction and sentence of two to five years for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Petitioner contends that he was sentenced on the basis of inaccurate information and convictions for which he was not represented by counsel. On July 27, 2009, respondent Jeffrey Woods filed an answer to the petition, and on September 24, 2009, Petitioner filed a reply. Currently pending before the Court is Petitioner's motion for immediate consideration of his habeas petition. Petitioner alleges that, if granted relief, his sentence will be reduced, and he will suffer less social stigma, prejudice, and discrimination. The Court is unable to give immediate consideration to Petitioner's case due to older habeas petitions pending on its docket. Accordingly, Petitioner's motion for immediate consideration [Dkt. #12] is DENIED. The Court nevertheless will attempt to address the merits PAUL D. BORMAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
