JOSE SANTIAGO-ORTIZ, Movant, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent.
MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME WITHIN WHICH TO FILE MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF MOTION UNDER 28 U.S.C. § 2255 TO VACATE, SET ASIDE, OR CORRECT SENTENCE
Hon. Lewis A. Kaplan, Judge
NOW GOMES Movant Jose Santiago-Ortiz ("Movant"), acting pro e, and moves this Honorable Court for a sixty (60) day enlargement of time, up to and including until May 5, 2022, within which to file his memorandum of law in support of his previously-filed Section 2255 motion.
In support of this motion Movant states as follows.
1. Movant is currently incarcerated at the United States Penitentiary Canaan, in Waymart, Pennsylvania.
2. Since March 2020, USP Canaan has been on either total or modified lockdown status as a result of the Covid-19 novel coronavirus. During this time, inmates have had no access to the institutional law library. Based upon this fact, Movant has been unable to perfect his Section 2255 memorandum, and thus he needs additional time to file that pleading.
