CIVIL ACTION NO. 14-1213 (MLC)
MEMORANDUM OPINION

By an order dated March 14, 2016, the Court gave John L. Prisque thirty days to
inform the Court whether he intended to withdraw and abandon his argument that he
received ineffective assistance of counsel concerning his plea options in his underlying
criminal matter. (See dkt. 21.) That order was issued based upon a letter, dated February
19, 2016, received by the Court from Mr. Prisque. (See dkt. 20.)
Forty-five days have now elapsed. The Court has received no response from Mr.
Prisque. Therefore, for good cause appearing, the Court intends to dismiss Mr. Prisque’s
petition in its entirety. The Court will issue an appropriate order and judgment.
