Filing 32

MEMORANDUM & ORDER granting petitioner's 29 Motion to supplement the record. Signed by Judge Kevin McNulty on 4/6/2016. (nr, )

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY
DARIUS MURPHY,
Petitioner,
V.

Civ. No. 14-4268 (KM)
MEMORANDUM & ORDER

PATRICK NOGAM, et al.,
Respondents.

Before the Court is the Petitioner’s “Motion to Supplement the Record” on
this habeas petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 2254 (ECF no. 29). The

Respondent has opposed the motion. (ECF no. 31) The proffered material
consists of a supplemental pleading, entitled “Supplement Submission to
Petitioner’s Traverse.” (ECF no. 30) It is essentially a 4-page supplemental brief,
in which the Petitioner cites to state court transcripts and argues inferences
from what is said there. I will permit this additional pro se submission and
consider it in connection with deciding the merits.
Accordingly, IT IS this 6th day of April, 2016,
ORDERED that petitioner’s motion is GRANTED and that the
supplemental submission (ECF no. 30) will be considered.
The clerk shall serve this order on petitioner by regular U.S. mail.
