Case
Russell v. United States · No. 1:23-cv-07915
Judge
Paul Gardephe
Date
May 7, 2024

Background

Donnell Russell filed a motion asking the court to strike a response opposing briefing statements by United States prosecutors. The filing referred to a response submitted on May 4, 2024, and said additional time was needed to include critical facts and use the proper format.

The filing identifies Russell as the plaintiff and the United States of America as the defendant. It also refers to a related criminal case, No. 20-CR-00538 (PGG). Russell stated that he was not schooled in law and requested the court’s consideration.

Requested relief

Russell asked the court to strike the identified response and to provide any other relief the court considered fair.

Disposition

The text includes the words “SO ORDERED,” but the ruling itself is not legible or otherwise stated in the material provided. It is therefore unclear whether the court granted, denied, or otherwise resolved the motion. No specific disposition is reported here.
