MEMORANDUM & ORDER

PETER G. SHERIDAN, District Judge.

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a motion to vacate, set aside or correct his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Presently pending before this Court are two motions filed by petitioner. First, petitioner has filed a motion to amend his § 2255 filing which seeks to purportedly add new claims to this action.

Good cause being shown, that motion will be granted.

Accordingly, IT IS this 5 day of November, 2019,
