Mr. Jones has since filed a motion to dismiss. The motion to dismiss, dkt. #4 , is granted. This action is dismissed without prejudice. The clerk shall close this action on the docket.

August 4, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER of Castro Notice; This Order provides the petitioner with his notice of the treatment of his post-judgment filing and his opportunity to withdraw or amend the motion. He shall have through September 7, 2021, in which to either supplement his motion with a complete statement of the claims and grounds on which he could and does challenge his conviction and/or sentence or withdraw such motion insofar as it could be thought to seek relief authorized by 28 U.S.C. 2255. He may, in the alternative, notify the Court that his filing does constitute a complete statement of the claims and grounds on which he could and does challenge his conviction and/or sentence. If he does not take one of these steps by September 7, 2021, the motion will be treated as a 2255 motion and the case will proceed. Signed by Judge Sarah Evans Barker on 8/4/2021. Copy Mailed.(CKM)

July 27, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 1 ORDER Directing Treatment of Post-Judgment Motion and Directing Opening of New Civil Action as to JOE JONES (1) - The defendant's motion for court assistance, dkt. 91, shall be treated as a motion seeking relief under 28 U.S.C. 2255.
