ORDER
On April 30, 2025, the Court granted Petitioner Stephen Hanna's Petition for a Writ of
Habeas Corpus and ordered the Respondent to immediately restore Mr. Hanna's good-time credits
and to calculate his new release date. [Filing No. 31.] On August 12, 2025, Mr. Hanna filed a
Motion to Notify the Court Pertaining to Order in which he stated that his good-time credits had
not yet been restored. [Filing No. 33.] The Court issued an Order to Show Cause on October 28,
2025 to the Respondent, requiring him to show cause why he should not be held in contempt for
failing to comply with the Court's April 30, 2025 Order. [Filing No. 34.] On November 12, 2025,
the Respondent filed his response to the Order to Show Cause in which he explains why
compliance with the April 30, 2025 Order was delayed and provides evidence that Mr. Hanna's
good-time credits have now been restored. [Filing No. 35.]
Based on Respondent's response, and because this matter appears to be resolved, [see Filing
No. 35-3], the Court DISCHARGES the October 28, 2025 Order to Show Cause. [Filing No. 34.]
1 The CLERK is DIRECTED to change the Respondent's name from "Vanihel" to "Vinardi"
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 25(d), because Keith Vinardi has succeeded Frank Vanihel as the
Warden at Wabash Valley Correctional Facility. [See Filing No. 35 at 1.]
