v.

DEMETRIUS JEFFERSON,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cr-00105-EMC-1 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Docket No. 34

Defendant Demetrius Jefferson has filed a motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his 

sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. 

Pursuant to the Federal Rules Governing Section 2255 Proceedings, the Court has 

conducted a preliminary review of the motion. See Fed. R. Governing § 2255 Proceedings 4 

(providing that “[t]he judge who receives the motion must promptly examine it”). Based on this 

review, the Court cannot say that “it plainly appears from the motion . . . that the moving party is 

not entitled to relief.” Id. Accordingly, the Court hereby orders the United States to respond to 

the motion per the schedule below. See id. (providing that, “[i]f the motion is not dismissed, the 

judge must order the United States attorney to file an answer, motion, or other response within a 

fixed time, or to take other action the judge may order”).

1. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a courtesy copy of this order on the United 

States.

2. The United States shall file a response to Mr. Jefferson’s motion within sixty (60) 

days of the date of this order. 

3. If the United States files an answer, it must conform to Rule 5 of the Federal Rules 

Governing § 2255 Proceedings. If the United States files an answer, Mr. Jefferson may submit a
