ORDER CONSOLIDATING THIS CASE WITH
GROOMS V. STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, 1:20CV7-DMB-DAS
The court takes up, sua sponte, the consolidation of this case with Grooms v. State of
Mississippi, 1:20CV7-DMB-DAS. The petitioner has challenged the calculation of his sentence
regarding the same conviction the instant petition for a writ of habeas corpus and one he filed in this
court previously: Grooms v. State of Mississippi, 1:20CV7-DMB-DAS. In both petitions, Mr.
Grooms challenges his sentence imposed in State of Mississippi v. Grooms, CR2018-175 in the Circuit
Court of Prentiss County, Mississippi. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to CONSOLIDATE
these two cases, leaving the earlier-filed action as the lead case.
SO ORDERED, this, the 18th day of May, 2020.
