There is nothing you can do. Judge Obus is very fair - you should be happy to have him. Has the DA put in papers? If NO, he is likely waiting for the DA. If YES, the US Supreme Court is going to take up whether Padilla is retroactive in its next term (starts in October) so maybe he is waiting to see what the Court decides.
