JIMMY THRASHER, Petitioner, v. ERICK BALCARCEL, Respondent.
ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO FILE RESPONSE
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On May 4, 2018, Petitioner Jimmy Thrasher filed a pro se habeas corpus petition seeking relief from his second-degree murder conviction. (See Pet., ECF No. 1.) On March 11, 2020, the Court mailed a notice to Thrasher, and that notice returned to the Court as undeliverable. (See ECF No. 11.) A notation on the returned envelope indicates that Thrasher is deceased. (Id.) The Michigan Department of Corrections' Offender Tracking Information System also suggests that Thrasher is deceased.
Through this order, the Court DIRECTS Respondent to determine and inform the Court, by no later than September 20, 2021, whether Thrasher is deceased.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon the parties and/or counsel of record on August 18, 2021, by electronic means and/or ordinary mail.
