ORDER RE RESPONDENT’S MOTION 

TO DISMISS

Docket No. 7

Currently pending before the Court is Respondent Martin L. Frink’s motion to dismiss 

Petitioner Gregory L. Holt’s petition for habeas corpus. The Court held a hearing on the motion 

on October 15, 2015. This order memorializes the oral rulings made by the Court at the hearing

and makes additional rulings where necessary.

More specifically, the Court defers ruling on the motion to dismiss so that the factual 

record can be developed regarding the issue of equitable tolling. Petitioner shall immediately 

identify for Respondent the various facilities where he has been held between January 10, 2013 

and April 2, 2014 (the “relevant period”). Respondent shall then contact those facilities to obtain 

records regarding Petitioner’s communications to his former counsel, his former counsel’s law 

firm, or other employees at the law firm. In particular, Respondent shall obtain mail logs or phone 

logs for Petitioner during the relevant period. Respondent shall serve any and all records obtained 

on Petitioner no later than December 3, 2015.
