ORDER

Pursuant to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 cases, I directed the
Respondents to answer or otherwise plead to the overly long and terribly confusing
petition. Respondent have filed a helpful and persuasive brief and state court records
(filing no. 11; filing no. 12) that, taken together, are properly construed as a motion
to dismiss for failure to state a federal claim upon which relief can be granted.
Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is given leave to file a reply together with
Petitioner’s responsive brief no later than June 14, 2016. The Clerk shall set a case
management deadline of June 15, 2016 for Judge Kopf to review the file.
DATED this 13th day of May, 2016.
BY THE COURT:
Richard G. Kopf
Senior United States District Judge
