UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

GARRY JONES,
Petitioner,
Case No. 10-14476

v.
THOMAS K. BELL,
Respondent.
/

ORDER DENYING RESPONDENT’S MOTION TO SEAL AND DIRECTING
PETITIONER TO RESPOND
On December 19, 2013, the court issued an opinion and order conditionally
granting Petitioner Garry Jones’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On January 15,
2014, Respondent filed a motion to stay the court’s opinion and order as well as a
motion to seal documents regarding Petitioner’s prison records. These documents have
not yet been submitted to the court, but would be filed if the court grants Respondent’s
motion to seal. After reviewing both motions, the court is inclined to grant the stay, and
at this point it does not appear that any further materials from Respondent are
necessary to resolve the motion. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Respondent’s “Motion to Seal,” [Dkt. # 18], is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is DIRECTED to respond to
Respondent’s “Motion to Stay,” [Dkt. # 17], by January 31, 2014.
