August 25, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 62 MINUTE ORDER: The Court previously mistakenly directed that the amended habeas petition (Dkt. 18 ) be noted for July 30, 2021, when, in fact, it is the respondent's answer (Dkt. 57 ) that should have been noted for consideration. See Dkt. [5 6]. Accordingly, the Court directs the Clerk to correct the docket to reflect that it is the respondent's answer (Dkt. 57 ), not the amended habeas petition (Dkt. 18 ), that is noted for consideration for July 30, 2021. The Clerk is further directed to terminate the motion designation for the amended habeas petition (Dkt. 18 ). Authorized by Hon. Brian A Tsuchida. **1 PAGE(S), PRINT ALL**(Vincent Melendrez, Prisoner ID: 373005)(MW)
