July 17, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 4 INFORMATION PACKAGE MAILED to James Kevin Kergil 258 High Street Peekskill, NY 10566 on 07/17/2023 Re: #3 Order to Answer, 28 U.S.C. 2241. The following document(s) were enclosed in the Service Package: a copy of the order of service or order to answer and other orders entered to date, the individual practices of the district judge and magistrate judge assigned to your case, Instructions for Litigants Who Do Not Have Attorneys, Notice Regarding Privacy and Public Access to Electronic Case Files, a flyer about the free legal assistance clinic located in the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse (only in non prisoner cases), a Motions guide, a notice that the Pro Se Manual has been discontinued, a Notice of Change of Address form to use if your contact information changes, a handout explaining matters handled by magistrate judges and consent form to complete if all parties agree to proceed for all purposes before the magistrate judge, a form for you to complete if you consent to receive filings electronically (only in nonprisoner cases). (ta)
July 17, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER TO ANSWER, 28 U.S.C. 2241... The Court hereby ORDERS that: The Clerk of Court shall electronically notify the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York that this Order has been issued. Within ten days of the date of this order, the U.S. Attorney's Office shall file an answer or other pleadings in response to the petition. Petitioner may file reply papers, if any, within five days from the date Petitioner is served with Respondent's answer. The expedited briefing schedule reflects the Court's concern that Kergil's convictions may be overturned in light of light of Ciminelli v. United States, No. 21-1170, 98 U.S. -- (2023). In Ciminelli, the Supreme Court held that valuable economic information needed to make discretionary economic decisions is not a traditional property interest and does not constitute "property" for purposes of the federal wire-fraud statute, and therefore the "right-to-control" theory cannot form the basis for a conviction under the federal fraud statutes. The case of Kergil's codefendant Michael Binday was recently vacated by the Supreme Court on Ciminelli grounds, and is currently on remand before the Second Circuit, where the parties are actively briefing the Ciminelli "right to control" issue. The Court expects that any response by the Government to Kergil's 2241 motion include a discussion on the continued viability of Kergil's conviction in light of Ciminelli, and how that factors into his present motion. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 7/17/2023) Copies Mailed By Chambers. (mml)
