ANDREA ASHLEY LIMON, #953270, Petitioner, v. SHAWN BREWER, Respondent.
OPINION & ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER'S MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT HABEAS PETITION REPLY (ECF NO. 19)
In June 2019, Michigan prisoner Andrea Ashley Limon ("Petitioner") filed a pro se amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging her state criminal proceedings. (ECF Nos. 12, 13.) Shawn Brewer ("Respondent") filed an answer to the amended petition and the additional state court record in August 2019. (ECF No. 16.) Petitioner filed a reply to that answer in October 2019. (ECF No. 18.) The matter is now before the Court on Petitioner's Motion to Supplement Habeas Petition Reply with Additional U.S. Supreme Court and Michigan Case Law. (ECF No. 19.) The Court has discretion to allow amendment of habeas pleadings. See Rule 11, Rules Governing 28 U.S.C. § 2254 Cases; Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). Having considered the matter, the Court finds that Petitioner should be allowed to supplement her reply as requested in the interests of justice.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner's Motion to Supplement Habeas Petition Reply with Additional U.S. Supreme Court and Michigan Case Law (ECF No. 19) is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
