KENNETH A. JONES, Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Before the Court is a pro se motion to vacate, set aside, or correct sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 filed by Kenneth Jones ("Petitioner") [Doc. 170]. The government filed an initial response [Doc. 192], and Petitioner filed a reply [Doc. 210]. During pendency of the action, Petitioner has filed three motions to amend his original petition [Docs. 182, 214, 224] and several non-dispositive, discovery-related motions [Docs. 190, 196, 208]. In the most recent motion to amend, Petitioner cites the United States Supreme Court's decision in Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015), as a novel ground for collateral relief [Doc. 224]. Respondent is ORDERED to file a response addressing all of the foregoing motions within thirty (30) days of entry of this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
