United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

ROBERT LEE SWANSON,

Defendant.

Case No. 09-cr-00475-SI-1 

ORDER SETTING BRIEFING 

SCHEDULE AND DENYING AS MOOT 

DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO ALTER 

JUDGMENT 

Re: Dkt. Nos. 30, 32, 34

On September 26, 2016, the government filed a response to this Court’s Order to Show 

Cause. The same day, the government filed an opposition to defendant’s pending motion to vacate 

his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The government has apologized for its repeated 

failures to meet deadlines in this case and states that in an effort to mitigate the prejudice that 

government counsel’s neglect has created, the government is not asking for a stay in this case.

In light of the government’s response, the Court finds it appropriate to resolve this matter 

on the merits. The Court orders as follows: (1) defendant may file a reply by October 21, 2016, 

and (2) defendant’s motion to alter judgment, which was predicated on the government’s failure to 

oppose the § 2255 motion, is DENIED AS MOOT. After the briefing on the § 2255 motion is 

complete, the Court will schedule a hearing on the matter if the Court deems it necessary. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 6, 2016
