Anderson v. Johnson

Filing 11

MEMORANDUM...The petitioner has written the clerk asking why it is taking so long for his habeas case to be decided. In the order of November 17, 2011, the court stated the reasons why both habeas cases and Social Security appeals take so long. As th e court stated in the order of November 17, 2011, the court handles the habeas cases assigned to it in the order they are filed. This is the only fair way. These cases are in addition to the regular civil and criminal cases headed for trial. The peti tioner's case is No. 17 out of 34 pending habeas cases. There are also a number of Social Security appeals that are ahead of petitioner's case. That is why there is the delay in resolving petitioner's case. Signed by Magistrate Judge Lewis M. Blanton on 8/17/2012. (JMC)

be decided.
In the order of November 17, 2011, the court stated the reasons why both habeas cases

As the court stated in the order of November 17, 2011, the court handles the habeas cases
assigned to it in the order they are filed. This is the only fair way. These cases are in addition to
the regular civil and criminal cases headed for trial. The petitioner’s case is No. 17 out of 34
pending habeas cases. There are also a number of Social Security appeals that are ahead of
petitioner’s case.
That is why there is the delay in resolving petitioner’s case.
