ORDER

Petitioner has filed a notice with the court indicating that he never received a copy of Respondent's reply. ECF No. 16. The notice states that there is a backlog in the prison mail system, and petitioner opines that the filing may have been lost. Id. In light of this information, Respondent will be directed to re-serve the reply brief on petitioner.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent shall serve Petitioner by mail with a duplicate copy of the reply filed March 30, 2022 (ECF No. 15), within five days of this order.
