Date Filed Document Text
November 16, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** Petitioner has filed a motion for reconsideration of the court's order to deny as moot his request to backdate his motion to stay petition and hold in abeyance. Dkt. #13 . This motion is DENIED. In his original motion, petitioner asked the court to backdate the motion to stay to September 8, 2023. The court determined that backdating the motion was unnecessary because petitioner signed it on September 8, 2023, and, often, a pro se document's date of filing is its date of signing. Now petitioner asks the court to use September 14, 2023, as the date of filing, contending that he submitted the motion to prison authorities for mailing on September 14, 2023. This may be true, but the evidence petitioner has submitted doesn't compel this conclusion. In any event, using September 8, 2023, as the date of filing makes it more likely that petitioner's motion is timely, not less likely as he seems to think. Petitioner asks for clarification of the court's decision to strike the second copy of his motion for the court to take possession of his legal file. The court struck the second copy of this motion because it is a duplicate. The original motion, Dkt. #4 , is still pending and, along with his motion to stay, has been taken under advisement for screening. Signed by Magistrate Judge Stephen L. Crocker on 11/16/2023. (rks),(ps)
November 16, 2023 Filing 13 Motion for Reconsideration and Clarification of 12 Text Only Order by Petitioner Donald P. Coughlin. (Attachments: #1 Disbursement Request) (jls),(ps)
October 31, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 12 ** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** Petitioner moves the court to backdate his motion to stay petition and hold in abeyance to September 8, 2023, the date on which he signed it. Dkt. #10 . This motion is DENIED as moot: backdating the motion is unnecessary because a pro se document's date of filing is generally treated as the date on which the prisoner signed it, absent records showing that the prisoner submitted it to prison authorities for mailing on another date, which the court doesn't have in the available record. Petitioner's second copy of his motion for the court to take possession of legal file, Dkt. #11 , is STRICKEN because petitioner already filed this document. Signed by Magistrate Judge Stephen L. Crocker on 10/31/2023. (jls),(ps)
