MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Before the Court is movant’s pro se motion to reopen the time to reply to the
Government’s response to show cause order (Doc. No. 14). Movant states he did not file a reply
because the Court/Clerk failed to notify or furnish him with a copy of the Government’s
response or any order to reply. The Court notes that in its response, the Government certified that
a copy was mailed to Movant on September 27, 2016; however, after consideration, the Court
will grant Movant’s motion to allow him to file a reply.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Movant’s Motion to Reopen Time to Reply to
Government’s Response [14] is GRANTED. Movant shall have forty-five (45) days from the
date of this Memorandum and Order, and no later than January 5, 2017, to file his reply to the
Government’s response.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is directed to mail Movant a copy
of the Government’s Response to Show Cause Order, as well a copy of this Order, at the
following address: Bernard Bryant #39446-044, Greeenville Federal Correctional Institution,
