IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
AUSTIN MATHIASEN,
Petitioner,
vs.
ROB JEFFREYS,
Respondent.
8:25CV297
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On October 23, 2025, Petitioner filed what he captioned an “Actual
Innocence Claim and Motion to Deny Summary Judgment.” Filing No. 19.
Upon review, Petitioner is advised that the Court construes his motion as his
brief in opposition to Respondent’s motion for summary judgment, which he
was required to file by October 27, 2025. See Filing No. 16 at 6 (setting
Petitioner’s brief deadline as 30 days after Respondent filed his response to
the amended petition). Pursuant to the Court’s local rules, a party opposing a
motion “must file a brief that concisely states the reasons for opposing the
motion.” NECivR 7.1(b)(1)(A). Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that:
1. The Clerk's office is directed to term the motion at Filing No. 19
and update the docket text to reflect that the Court will treat Filing No. 19 as
Petitioner’s brief in opposition to Respondent’s summary judgment motion.
2. Respondent shall have until November 24, 2025, to file a reply
brief in support of his summary judgment motion.
3. The Clerk of Court is directed to set a pro se case management
deadline using the following text: November 24, 2025: deadline for
Respondent’s reply brief.
