IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

CALVIN EUGENE JACKSON,

ADC #134338 PETITIONER

v. No. 5:14-cv-388-DPM

 

WENDY KELLEY,*

 Director,

Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

In March, the Court granted Jackson’s motion to voluntarily dismiss his

habeas petition. No 11. But no separate Judgment issued. FED.R. CIV.P. 58(a)

& (c)(2)(B); Jeffries v. United States, 721 F.3d 1008, 1012–13 (2013). Jackson now

asks for a stay instead of dismissal. No 12. Because Judgment hasn’t been

entered, and in the interests of justice to allow Jackson to possibly pursue

relief in the Arkansas courts, the Court vacates the dismissal, No 11. FED. R.

CIV. P. 60(b)(6). The Court refers this case back to Magistrate Judge Volpe to

consider Jackson’s motion on its merits, No 12.

*

The Court directs the Clerk to amend the docket to reflect the current

Director of the Arkansas Department of Correction, Wendy Kelley. FED. R.

CIV. P. 25(d).
