Petitioner also filed a motion for an evidentiary hearing. 1 Dockets.Justia.com Case 2:20-cv-11540-DPH-PTM ECF No. 15, PageID.133 Filed 11/20/20 Page 2 of 2 Petitioner has now filed a motion to strike (ECF No. 14) the motion to hold the petition in abeyance (ECF No. 12). The motion to strike (ECF No. 14) is granted. The Court will not hold the petition in abeyance (ECF No.12). The motion for an evidentiary hearing (ECF No. 13) is denied without prejudice. Petitioner’s request for an evidentiary hearing is premature because this Court has yet to receive the answer and the Rule 5 materials from respondent. Once the Court receives the answer and the Rule 5 materials from respondent, the Court will be in a better position to determine whether an evidentiary hearing is warranted. ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion to strike the motion to hold the petition in abeyance (ECF No. 14) is GRANTED and the motion to stay (ECF No. 12) is WITHDRAWN by Petitioner. It is further ORDERED that the motion for an evidentiary hearing (ECF No. 13) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. s/Denise Page Hood Denise Page Hood Chief Judge, United States District Court Dated: November 20, 2020 2
