Elliot E. Lopez, Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent.


MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Before the Court is Elliot Lopez's pro se motion to vacate, set aside, or correct a sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 [Doc. 50]. Petitioner's claim for relief relies on Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015) [Id.]. Since it does not plainly appear from the face of the § 2255 motion that it should be summarily dismissed, the United States Attorney is hereby ORDERED to file an answer or other pleading within fourteen (14) days from the date of this Order. See Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2255 Proceedings for the United States District Courts.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
