Opinion
Case No. 3:12-cv-367
03-25-2013
JOHN WESLEY SLAGLE, Petitioner, v. WARDEN, Belmont Correctional Institution Respondent.
District Judge Walter Herbert Rice
Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz
SUPPLEMENT TO ORDER FOR ANSWER
In this habeas corpus case filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, the Court issued on December 17, 2012, an Order for Answer to the Respondent Warden (Doc. No. 8). The Order requires that the Warden file the state court record before filing the Answer, thereby obtaining a distinctive PageID on each page of the filed state court record. The Order also requires that "[a]ll papers filed in the case thereafter, by either party, including the answer and the exhibit index, shall include record references to the PageID number." (Order, Doc. No. 8, PageID 102).
In order to ensure that the Petitioner is able to comply with this directive, the Order for Answer is hereby SUPPLEMENTED as follows: the copy of the state court record served by Respondent on the Petitioner shall include the PageID numbers. This is necessary because pro se litigants do not have access to the electronic case file for preparation of filings.
