Opinion

CRIMINAL NO. 05-40077-GPM-1.

April 28, 2011


MEMORANDUM AND ORDER


Before the Court is Mr. Happold's pro se motion for relief, titled "motion to reopen 28 USC 2255 proceedings under the authority of the savings clause and treate [sic] as a 28 USC 2241 proceeding" (Doc. 25). Mr. Happold's motion is DENIED. Mr. Happold appears to be under the assumption that a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion is pending. There is no such motion pending in this District. If Mr. Happold wishes to file a § 2255 motion, he may use the forms available from the Clerk's office. However, the Court warns Mr. Happold that filing a § 2255 motion carries drastic consequences, including restrictions on successive habeas motions. See Williams v. United States, 366 F.3d 438, 439 (7th Cir. 2004); Nolan v. United States, 358 F.3d 480, 485 (7th Cir. 2004).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
