v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, RESPONDENT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Jeanne E. Scott, District Judge
This cause is before the Court on Petitioner's Petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence (d/e 1). The Court now makes the initial consideration of Petitioner's Petition under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing § 2255 Cases.

THEREFORE, the United States Attorney is ordered to file an answer pursuant to Rule 5 of the Rules Governing 28 U.S.C. § 2255 Cases to Petitioner's Petition or before May 4, 2007. Petitioner is granted 21 days from the time the answer is filed to file a reply.
IT IS THEREFORE SO ORDERED.
