IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

vs. Case No. 21-10073-EFM

MICHAEL R. CAPPS,

Defendant.

ORDER

This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Capps’s Emergency Motion for

Reconsideration of Order Denying Compassionate Release (Doc. 263). The Court entered an Order

denying Defendant’s request after the Government filed a response. Defendant contends that he

was not allowed time to respond to the Government’s motion and would have addressed several

of the Government’s arguments in his reply. He requests that the Court vacate its order, allow him

time to file a reply, and reconsideration after full briefing.

The Court grants in part and denies in part Defendant’s request. The Court will not vacate

its previous Order but will stay it. The Court will also allow Defendant time to file a reply on or

by February 26, 2025. After considering Defendant’s reply, the Court will reconsider whether

Defendant’s response adequately addresses the Government’s response.
Case 6:21-cr-10073-EFM Document 265 Filed 02/18/25 Page 2 of 2

263) is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. The Court stays its February 14 Order,

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated this 18th day of February, 2025.
