UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JOSEPH VASQUEZ JR., Defendant.
ORDER SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR PENDING 28 U.S.C. § 2255 MOTION AND GRANTING REQUEST TO EXCEED PAGE LIMIT (DOCS. 384, 385)
On October 28, 2022, Defendant Joseph Vasquez, Jr. filed a pro se Motion to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 in relation to the above-captioned case. (Doc. 384.) The Court has preliminarily reviewed Vasquez's motion and concludes that it would be aided by a response from the government. Accordingly, the government shall have until January 13, 2023 to file any opposition, and Defendant Vasquez shall have until February 3, 2023 to file a reply.
Vasquez also filed a motion for leave to exceed the 25-page limit for motions due to his lack of access to a typewriter. (Doc. 385.) Both Vasquez's § 2255 motion and motion for leave to exceed the page limit are indeed handwritten. His § 2255 motion does exceed the normal page limits but is not unreasonably lengthy. Good cause appearing, the Court will GRANT Vasquez's request to exceed the usual page limits as to handwritten filings related to his § 2255 motion, so long as the length of his filings remains reasonable.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
