April 6, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 16 (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no pdf document associated with this entry.) ORDER: Petitioners #14 "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Order Dated February 23, 2026 (Doc. 11) and Memorandum of Law in Support" are construed as a motion to reconsider the referenced Order [Doc. 11], and so construed, the motion is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. The motion is granted insofar as the Court will accept for filing the previously filed Amended Petitions [Docs. 6, 8] and supporting Memoranda [Docs. 7, 9, 10, 13] and will not require Petitioner to file a Third Amended Petition as stated in the February 23, 2026 Order [Doc. 11 at 2]. The motion is denied insofar as it seeks an order requiring Respondent to file a response within 21 days. [Doc. 14 at 11]. Petitioner's submissions will be screened in due course, and the Court will address the service question by separate order. As Petitioners submissions still must be screened, the Court also denies his request that "the Court... rule on [his] case," which is docketed as a "Motion for Ruling." [Doc. 12 at 1]. No further action is needed from Petitioner at this time. Signed by Magistrate Judge Benecia B. Moore on 4/6/2026. (kdr) [Transferred from Arkansas Eastern on 9/11/2026.]
