grounds for relief. On October 14, 2016, Petitioner filed a motion requesting an order requiring
the government to respond. (D.E. 8.) This motion is GRANTED.
IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Rule 5(a) of the Rules Governing § 2255 Proceedings for
the United States District Courts (the “§ 2255 Rules”), that the United States file a response to
the Petition within twenty-one days from the date of entry of this order.
Pursuant to Rule 5(d) of the § 2255 Rules, Petitioner may, if he chooses, submit a reply to
Respondent’s answer or response within twenty-eight days of service. Petitioner may request an
extension of time to reply if his motion is filed on or before the due date of such reply. The
Court will address the merits of the Petition, or of any motion filed by Respondent, after the
expiration of Petitioner’s time to reply, as extended.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 18th day of October 2016.
