v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent.

As Petitioner has noted in his letter of August 1, 2018 (Dkt. No. 22), somewhere between

17

his mailing of his Second Amended Petition and its entry into the court record, the pages became

18

disorganized and the document is now almost completely out of order. (See Dkt. No. 21.) The

19

Court is at as much of a loss as Petitioner to understand how this happened, but it clearly needs

20

to be corrected.

21

The Government has indicated that it is able to respond to the petition in its present form,

22

which means that a stay will not be necessary at this point. However, if for no other reason than

23

the transmission of a comprehensible record to the Court of Appeals (should that become

24

necessary), Petitioner’s amended petition needs to re-organized and then re-filed in its original

2

order. Obviously, Petitioner is best suited to that task. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner will resubmit, in their proper order, the documents
which comprise his Second Amended Petition.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner complete the re-filing by no later than
September 4, 2018.
The Court finds that a stay is not required at this point, and Petitioner will be expected to
file a timely reply to the Government’s response to his Second Amended Petition.

The clerk is ordered to provide copies of this order to Petitioner and to all counsel.
