Burleson v. Jeffreys

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
JEREMY BURLESON,
Petitioner,
vs.
NEBRASKA DEPT. OF CORR.,
Respondent.
8:25CV44
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Petitioner’s letter dated October 27,
2025, which the Court construes as a motion for status, Filing No. 10, and
Respondent’s motion for extension of time, Filing No. 11. In his motion for
status, Petitioner asks if his case is still under review. Upon consideration,
Petitioner’s motion for status is granted and this Memorandum and Order
will advise him of the status of his case.
On September 30, 2025, the Court conducted an initial review of
Petitioner’s habeas petition and determined that Petitioner’s claims, as set
forth in the Court’s initial review order, are potentially cognizable in federal
court. Filing No. 8. The Court directed Respondent to file a response to the
petition by November 14, 2025. On November 14, 2025, Respondent filed a
motion asking for an extension of time until December 15, 2025, to file a
response to the petition. Upon consideration of Respondent’s motion, the
Court will grant the motion and extend Respondent’s deadline to respond to
the petition to December 15, 2025. Once Respondent files a response, the case
will progress as set forth in the Court’s September 30, 2025, initial review
and progression order, Filing No. 8.
