ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO STRIKE (ECF NO. 990) AND DENYING MOTION FOR ENTRY OF A WRIT CONFIRMING THE NATURE OF DEFENDANT'S CONVICTION (ECF NO. 1025)
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
Now pending before the Court are two motions. The Court resolves them as follows:
1. Defendant's motion to strike letters to the Court is GRANTED. The letters were filed at a time that they could not be used in a pending proceeding in this Court, and the Government disclaimed any intention to use the letters on appeal (if it could even do so given the time of their filing). Accordingly (and for the reasons set forth in the motion), the Court concludes that the letters do not properly belong on the docket. The Court therefore orders the Clerk to STRIKE the letters.
2. Defendant's letter-motion for entry of a writ clarifying the nature of his conviction is DENIED. Defendant says that he seeks this relief based upon descriptions of his conviction in decisions issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. This Court does not clarify statements by the Sixth Circuit. Moreover, Defendant has not shown any compelling need for clarification, nor has he persuaded the Court that a motion under the All Writs Act is the appropriate vehicle for seeking clarification of the nature of his conviction.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
