UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
JAMES EDWARD EMERSON,
Petitioner,
-vs-

Case No. 15-C-180

WILLIAM POLLARD,
Warden of Waupun Correctional Institution,
Respondent.

DECISION AND ORDER
Pro se Petitioner James Edward Emerson (“Emerson”), convicted of
first-degree intentional homicide after a jury trial before the Marathon
County Circuit Court and serving a life sentence without parole at Waupun
Correctional Institution, filed a petition for relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
2254. From review of Emerson’s petition, it does not plainly appear that he
is not entitled to relief.

See R. 4 Governing § 2254 Cases Dist. Cts.

Therefore, Respondent William Pollard (“Pollard”) will be required to file
an answer, motion or other response to the instant petition that contains
the materials required by Rule 5 of the Rules Governing § 2254 Cases in
the District Courts.

NOW, THEREFORE, BASED ON THE FOREGOING, IT IS
HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
On or before May 19, 2015, Pollard must file an answer, motion or
other response to the instant petition.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 19th day of March, 2015.

BY THE COURT:
