ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

SENTENCING HEARING

[Doc.8]

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. On May 16, 2007, Petitioner filed a motion in which he initially

noted that this court had entered an order on February 20, 2007, requiring Respondent to file an

answer to the petition by April 24, 2007. Stating that Respondent had not yet complied with the

court’s order, Petitioner requested this court to therefore hold a sentencing hearing and resentence him to eliminate his mandatory 20-year minimum sentence.

The court finds that Petitioner’s assertion that Respondent had not yet filed an answer to

the petition was incorrect. Respondent filed an answer on April 26, 2007. Accordingly,

Petitioner’s motion is baseless and is HEREBY DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
