ORDER

On October 25, 2019, Magistrate Judge Michelle H. Burns issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending the Amended Motion to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence Under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 be granted, Petitioner's "conviction and sentence be vacated, and the original charges in the Indictment be reinstated." (Doc. 33 at 5). No objections were filed. Based on the lack of objections, the R&R will be summarily adopted. Before doing so, however, the Court will hold a status hearing.

As explained in the R&R, Petitioner's plea agreement provided that if his guilty plea was "rejected, withdrawn, vacated, or reversed . . . any charges that have been dismissed. . . will be automatically reinstated." (Doc. 33 at 3). Thus, when the Court adopts the R&R and vacates Petitioner's conviction and sentence, the previously-dismissed charges will automatically be reinstated. But vacating Petitioner's conviction and sentence might require immediate proceedings to determine if he should remain in custody. Moreover, reinstating the previous charges might implicate the Speedy Trial Act. Therefore, before formally adopting the R&R and granting the motion to vacate, the Court will hold a status hearing. Prior to that hearing, the parties will be required to file a joint status report stating how they wish to proceed after the Court adopts the R&R. That status report should also indicate whether Petitioner's presence is necessary for the status hearing.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED a status hearing is set for December 17, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. No later than November 25, 2019, the parties shall file a joint status report explaining how they wish to proceed and whether Petitioner's presence at the status hearing is necessary.
