Date Filed Document Text
November 7, 2023 Filing 5 EO: On September 26, 2023, pro se Defendant Leihinahina Sullivan ("Defendant") filed a "Motion Under 28 U.S.C. 2255 to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence By A Person In Federal Custody," in Cr. No. 21-00096 JMS, ECF No. 229 ("2255 Petition"). The 2255 Petition was docketed in both of Defendant's underlying criminal cases -- Cr. No. 21-00096 JMS, as well as Cr. No. 17-00104 JMS. Defendant has clarified that she only intended the 2255 Petition to be filed in Cr. No. 21-00096 JMS, and not Cr. No. 17-00104 JMS.On October 31, 2023, the court dismissed Defendant's 2255 Petition as premature. Cr. No. 21-00096 JMS at ECF No. 239 . That dismissal should only be reflected in Cr. No. 21-00096 JMS, and not in Cr. No. 17-00104 JMS (where it was incorrectly docketed as ECF No. 1603 ). Accordingly, the Clerk is DIRECTED to terminate the 2255 Petition in Cr. No. 17-00104 JMS, ECF No. 1603, and make a notation that it was incorrectly filed in Cr. 17-00104 JMS. Furthermore, the Clerk is DIRECTED to CLOSE Civ. No. 23-00400 JMS-KJM, in which the 2255 Petition was filed as ECF No. 1.Similarly, on September 26, 2023, Defendant filed a motion to appoint counsel to handle her 2255 Petition only in Cr. No. 21-00096 JMS, ECF No. 230 , which was contemporaneously and incorrectly docketed in Cr. No. 17-00104 JMS, ECF No. 1604 . The Clerk is therefore DIRECTED to strike the Motion to Appoint Counsel in Cr. No. 17-00104 JMS, ECF No. 1604. (JUDGE J.
