ORDER
ROBERT J. CONRAD, JR., District Judge.
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the government's Motion to Hold in Abeyance, (Doc. No. 269), to which the defendant does not object.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit remanded this case for ruling on the merits of the defendant's motion for reconsideration. (Doc. No. 267: Order). On August 30, 2019, this Court ordered the government to respond to the defendant's motion on or before September 19, 2019. (Doc. No. 268). Instead of filing a response, the government filed the instant motion stating another case pending before the Fourth Circuit presents the same issues. (Doc. No. 269: Motion at 1-2). The issues in this case are broader than the ones in the case on appeal; therefore, the Court finds this matter should proceed.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the government's motion, (Doc. No. 269), is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, since the government's response is past due, it shall file a response within ten (10) days of the entry of this Order.
The Clerk is directed to certify copies of this Order the defendant, defendant's counsel, the United States Attorney, and the Clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
