Just in time for the weekend, here's the latest in Mingazov. As I noted yesterday, Ravil Mingazov posted his response in opposition to the government's motion to remand his case back to the District Court. Like clockwork, the government has already filed its reply, proffering three counterarguments to the detainee's claims. The government says:
- Mingazov's argument "rests on an inaccurate characterization of the district court’s order and is inconsistent with the district court’s determination that the Rule 60(b) motion presents a substantial issue."
- Petitioner's argument that the evidence is not "new" is "one of the central matters at issue in Respondents’ request for Rule 60(b) relief, about which the district court found a substantial issue."
- Mingazov's argument that the remand will slow down proceedings and delay his release "prejudges the outcome of the district court’s consideration, should this Court remand the record."
