December 20, 2019 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Chief Judge Sara Darrow on December 20, 2019. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2243, 2255 and Rule 4, the Court's preliminary review indicates that the #1 motion to vacate, set aside, or correct sentence could have merit and therefore orders Respondent to show cause, if any it may have, within 60 days after service of this Order, why said motion should not be granted. The Respondent may file an answer, motion, or other response; answers shall comply with Rule 5 of the Rules Governing Section 2255 Cases. After Respondent has filed its response, Petitioner is ordered to file any traverse or reply to the response within 30 days after service of said response. The Court admonishes Petitioner that a failure to reply to the response pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2248 will cause the Court to take the allegations in the response as true except to the extent that the Court finds from the evidence that they are not true. Petitioner shall serve upon attorney for Respondent a copy of every further pleading or other document submitted for consideration by the Court. Petitioner shall include with the original paper to be filed with the Clerk of the Court a certificate stating the date that a true and correct copy of any document was mailed to Respondent's counsel. Any paper received by this Court which has not been filed with the Clerk or which fails to include a certificate of service will be disregarded by the Court. Petitioner must immediately notify the Court of any change in his mailing address. Failure to notify the Court of any change in mailing address will result in dismissal of this lawsuit, with prejudice. (AK, ilcd)
