ORDER
By order filed on August 26, 2010, respondent was temporarily relieved of its obligation to file an answer in response to movant's 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion so that it could be determined whether habeas counsel would be appointed for movant. In addition, movant's pro se motions for leave to supplement his § 2255 motion and to conduct discovery were vacated without prejudice. Counsel for movant has been appointed.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that within twenty-eight days of this order, the parties shall file a joint scheduling statement which addresses the timing and order of the following matters:
1. The number of days movant's counsel estimates it will take to file either:
a.) A statement indicating movant will stand on the existing § 2255 motion, and supplemental memorandum of points and authorities, if any; or
b.) An amended § 2255 motion.
2. Discovery and investigations;
3. Anticipated motions;
4. The need for and timing of an evidentiary hearing;
5. Possible future amendments to the pleadings.
Counsel are reminded of the importance of timely filing a joint scheduling statement. Failure to do so may result in sanctions.
