Petitioner,

v.

CONNIE GIPSON,

Respondent.

No. 2:12-cv-0508 KJM DAD P

ORDER

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding through counsel with a petition for a writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On January 23, 2014, this court issued an order 

setting a March 24, 2014 evidentiary hearing with respect to petitioner’s claim that his guilty plea 

in state court was induced by threats and harassment at the hands of correctional officers and was 

therefore not voluntarily entered. On February 24, 2014, respondent filed a motion for 

reconsideration by the assigned District Judge of the undersigned’s January 23, 2014 order 

granting an evidentiary hearing. On March 3, 2014, the undersigned vacated the evidentiary 

hearing pending the disposition of respondent’s motion for reconsideration. On August 25, 2014, 

the district court denied respondent’s motion for reconsideration.
