Opinion
Civ. No. 19-3701 (FLW)
01-14-2021
MEMORANDUM & ORDER
This matter has been opened to the Court by Petitioner Ibn El Amin Pasha's letter dated January 7, 2021, ECF No. 36, which responds to the Court's December 8, 2020 Order denying without prejudice Petitioner's request to amend his Petition. See ECF No. 34.
In his January 7, 2021 letter, Petitioner clarifies that he is not seeking to amend his Petition; instead, he seeks to submit an addendum to his traverse. Specifically, he wishes to provide the exhibit attached to his January 7, 2021 letter to support Ground Seventeen of the Petition. See ECF No. 36 at 2-4. At this time, the Court accepts the addendum to his traverse as timely filed.
The Court also notes that the "Amended Petition" submitted by Petitioner and docketed on December 22, 2020, appears identical to Petitioner's original Petition. See ECF Nos. 35, 1. Based on Petitioner's clarification and the similarly of the two petitions, the Court does not consider the Amended Petition to raise any new claims for relief.
Accordingly, IT IS, on this 14th day of January 2021,
ORDERED that Petitioner's request to submit an addendum to his traverse is GRANTED; and it is further
ORDERED that the exhibit to Petitioner's letter dated January 7, 2021, ECF No. 36 at 2-4, is accepted as within time; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order on Petitioner by regular U.S. mail.
