On June 11, 2020, self-represented Appellant Lionel Scott Ellison filed a "Formal Objection to the Late and Untimely Filing of Appellee's Response Brief' and a "Motion to Review/Overturn this Matter, Based on the Attached Newly Released Exculpatory Evidence that the District Court's Former Clerk Denied and Withheld." We decline to consider any pleadings that Ellison has filed because they are either untimely, inappropriate, or both. M. R. App. P. 16(2) and 12(10). Upon review of our docket, this Court has previously entertained such meritless motions from Ellison during this appeal and have denied such requests.

The Clerk ofthe Supreme Court is directed to provide a copy ofthis Order to counsel of record and to Clarence Redmond Logue Jr. bed DATED this 4.9- day of June, 2020.
