UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CASE NO. CR16-00113JLR Plaintiff, ORDER v.
SANTOS PETER MURILLO,
Defendant. Before the court is pro se Defendant Santos Peter Murillo’s motion for resentencing in light of vacated convictions (Mot. to Reduce Sentence (Dkt. # 176)) and Plaintiff the United States of America’s (the “Government”) motion to recharacterize Mr. Murillo’s motion for resentencing as a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (Mot. to Recharacterize (Dkt. # 177)). On October 16, 2025, Mr. Murillo consented to the recharacterization of his motion for resentencing as a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. (Resp. (Dkt. # 178).) Then, on October 31, 2025, Mr. Murillo filed an amended motion to vacate, set aside, or correct sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. (Am. Mot. (Dkt. ORDER - 1
Case 2:16-cr-00113-JLR Document 180 Filed 11/14/25 Page 2 of 2 1 # 179).) As a result, the Clerk opened a new civil case, Murillo v. United States of America , No. C25-2238JLR, for Mr. Murillo’s amended 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. Because Mr. Murillo has now filed his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion, the court DENIES as moot Mr. Murillo’s motion for resentencing in light of vacated convictions (Dkt. # 176) and the Government’s motion to recharacterize Mr. Murillo’s motion as a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (Dkt. # 177).
Dated this 14th day of November, 2025.
