ORDER FOR EXPEDITED ANSWER (Served electronically on USAO per MOU.). The warden or the proper respondent must file an answer or other appropriate responsive pleading within twenty (20) days after the date of service and must forward a copy to the petitioners counsel. This pleading must specifically address whether this Court has jurisdiction to entertain this petition. Whether the respondent elects to submit an answer or a dispositive motion, the petitioner must file any response within 10 days of the date reflected on the certificate of service. Under the Courts local rules, the petitioners failure to respond will be considered a representation that the petitioner does not oppose the motion.
