Maxwell Navarre Lee v. Michael Shewmaker

Summary

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri addresses Maxwell Navarre Lee’s habeas corpus petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. After reviewing Lee’s response to an order to show cause regarding timeliness, the court concludes that his Missouri Rule 24.035 post-conviction motion was timely filed and directs that a case management order issue, while permitting the respondent to raise timeliness as an affirmative defense.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Petitioner's response to the show-cause order concerning the timeliness of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition warranted continued proceedings rather than dismissal at that stage.
