Opinion
CASE NO. 12-10458
10-26-2012
DWAYNE MARQUIS BINYARD, Petitioner, v. KENNETH ROMANOWSKI, Respondent.
HONORABLE DENISE PAGE HOOD
ORDER GRANTING RESPONDENT'S MOTIONS
TO FILE A CORRECTED ANSWER
On February 2, 2012, petitioner Dwayne Marquis Binyard filed a habeas corpus petition challenging his Wayne County convictions for first-degree murder, assault with intent to commit murder, and felon in possession of a firearm. On July 10, 2012, Respondent filed an answer to the petition. On July 11, 2012, Respondent filed an amended answer and a motion to amend his initial answer by correcting a typographical error and by making other minor corrections to his answer. On July 19, 2012, Respondent filed a second amended answer and a motion to amend his answer to correct the statement of facts.
Petitioner has not opposed Respondent's motions, and he does not appear to have been prejudiced by the filing of two amended answers, for on July 31, 2012, he filed a reply brief. Accordingly, the amended answers filed on July 11, 2012, and on July 19, 2012, are accepted, and Respondent's motions to file a corrected answer [Document numbers 11 and 13] are GRANTED.
