ORDER Denying 40 Motion to Limit Respondent's Scope of Supplemental Briefing. Signed by District Judge Matthew F. Leitman. (Monda, H)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
OMAR RASHAD POUNCY,
Petitioner,
Case No. 13-14695
Hon. Matthew F. Leitman
v.
CARMEN D. PALMER,
Respondent.
__________________________________________________________________/
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO LIMIT RESPONDENT'S
SCOPE OF SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING
The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Motion to Limit the Scope of Respondent's
Supplemental Briefing. The motion is DENIED. The Court is not going to limit the
issues that Respondent may brief as requested by Petitioner. It is, of course, possible that
-- for the very reasons cited in Petitioner's motion -- Respondent may, perhaps, ultimately
not be entitled to prevail on some of the arguments he raises in his supplemental brief.
But the Court is not going to bar Respondent from addressing the issues in the brief.
Once the issues are fully briefed, the Court will determine whether Respondent's
arguments are preserved and properly before the Court and whether they are meritorious.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
