William Kerr v. Michael Thurmer

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
William Kerr v. Michael Thurmer, 468 F. App'x 636 (7th Cir. 2012)

William Kerr v. Michael Thurmer

Opinion

ORDER

After the district court’s decision denying William Kerr’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus, this court vacated its judgment and remanded the case for Kerr to develop his factual claims. Kerr v. Thurmer, 639 F.3d 315 (7th Cir. 2011). Respondent then filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court, which granted the petition, vacated our judgment, and remanded for reconsideration in light of Lafler v. Cooper, - U.S. -, 132 S.Ct. 1376, 182 L.Ed.2d 398 (2012). Pursuant to Circuit Rule 54, the parties have now filed a joint statement discussing what action they believe to be appropriate. They have indicated that no further action in this court is needed at this time, and thus that the case can simply be remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with La-fler. We agree with that position, and so we hereby order the case Remanded for this purpose.
