USA v. Farris

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
CHARLOTTE DIVISION
3:18-CR-00099-RJC-DCK
THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte.
After this Court denied, (Doc. No. 170: Order), the defendant’s amended
Motion for New Trial, (Doc. No. 165), the defendant filed a Motion for
Reconsideration, (Doc. No. 176), and a Motion to Amend the Motion for
Reconsideration, (Doc. No. 182). The Court found no basis to alter its prior ruling.
(Doc. No. 181).1 In a separate Order, (Doc. No. 186), the Court granted the Motion
to Amend the Motion for Reconsideration.
The defendant has now filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus in the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit stating the Order granting the
Motion to Amend, (Doc. No. 186), was “issued without any instruction or clarity on
the granting of the motion.” (Case No. 22-1961, Doc. No. 1 at 2). This Court’s intent
was to permit the amendment of the Motion for Reconsideration, but not to alter its
ruling on the merits. Accordingly, the amended Motion for New Trial and the
amended Motion for Reconsideration are considered resolved in this Court.
1 The Motion to Amend was received on June 6, 2022, and entered on June 8, 2022.
(Doc. No. 182). The Court’s Order denying the Motion for Reconsideration was
entered on June 7, 2022. (Doc. No. 181).
