Petitioner,
vs.
TROY STEELE,
Respondent.
Case No. 4:14-cv-01663-JAR
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon review of the case file. In Ground Two of the
Petition, Petitioner alleges that the trial court plainly erred in entering its written sentence and
judgment on Count IV because it did not conform to the oral pronouncement. Specifically,
Petitioner indicates that the lower court orally pronounced a sentenced of 30 years on Counts I
and II and then 15 years on Counts III and IV, to run concurrently, but then indicated in the
written judgment a sentence of 30 years on Count IV. On direct appeal, the Missouri Court of
Appeals modified Petitioner’s sentence to reflect the oral pronouncement. In its Motion for
Extension of Time filed December 16, 2014, the Government indicated that it needed additional
time to respond to the Petition so that it could review whether the Missouri Department of
Corrections had changed its recording of Petitioner’s sentence to reflect the relief given by the
Missouri Court of Appeals.
On December 30, 2014, the Government filed its response.
However, the response does not address whether the Missouri Department of Corrections has
changed its recording of Petitioner’s sentence.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Government submit a supplemental filing on or
before January 20, 2015 addressing whether the Missouri Department of Corrections has
changed its recording of Petitioner’s sentence to reflect the relief given by the Missouri Court of
Appeals.
Dated this 12th day of January, 2015.
