What the Order Did

Michael Castillo, who was representing himself, told the court that he had not received the government’s August 23, 2024 submission. The court transmitted the government’s filings dated August 23, 2024 (ECF No. 14) and October 15, 2024 (ECF No. 19) to him.

The court gave Castillo until November 15, 2024, to submit reply papers. It also directed the clerk to mail a copy of the order and the enclosed filings to Castillo and note the mailing on the docket.

What the Order Did Not Decide

The order did not grant or deny Castillo’s pending motions and did not resolve the issues discussed in the government’s filings. The embedded government submissions oppose Castillo’s motions, but they are not the court’s ruling.

Judge

Judge John G. Koeltl signed the order on October 18, 2024.
