Oakley shall, on or before May 22, 2023, file with the Court in paper form (not electronic) a Ratification of Petition bearing an original signature (not a photocopy), preferably in blue ink, in which petitioner states, if such be the case, that Orlando O. Oakley read the petition filed on March 2, 2023, and ratify and affirms the filing of said document. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to attach to the copy of this Order served on petitioners a form which may be used by petitioner Orlando O. Oakley for purposes of ratifying the petition.
