Case No.10-12202
08-10-2011
LARRY D. LEE, Petitioner, v. CAROL HOWES, Respondent.
ORDER DIRECTING REPLY
Petitioner Larry D. Lee filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging his convictions for third- and fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct. On December 13, 2010, Respondent Carol Howes filed a response, which was supplemented on August 3, 2011. On August 9, 2011, attorney John Minnock filed an appearance on behalf of Petitioner. As Respondent's supplemental response raised potentially dispositive issues, and in light of the appearance of counsel for Petitioner, the court finds it in the interest of justice to order a reply from Petitioner. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner Larry D. Lee is DIRECTED to file a reply on or before August 23, 2011. Petitioner may supplement the record with any further material, as necessary.
