UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff, 

v. 

NORMAN FELTS 

Defendant. 

Civil Case No.: 17cv1644

Crim.Case No.: 13cr2296

ORDER WITHDRAWING 

PETITION TO VACATE UNDER 28 

U.S.C. § 2255

Petitioner, Normal Felts (“Petitioner”), proceeding pro se, filed an “Emergency 

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus” pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2255 on August 25, 2017

relating to his ongoing criminal case. Section 2255 encompasses claims that “involve the 

right to be released upon the ground that the sentence was imposed in violation of the 

Constitution or the laws of the United States, or that the court was without jurisdiction to 

impose such sentence, or that the sentence was in excess of the maximum allowed by law, 

or is otherwise subject to collateral attack.” 28 U.S.C. § 2255. 

A sentencing hearing in Petitioner’s criminal case is set for October 21, 2019. 

Petitioner’s section 2255 petition is premature. Accordingly, the Court WITHDRAWS the 

petition on its own motion. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
