[Doc. 8]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas

Supreme Court, or a judge or justice of either court orders otherwise – be released on

personal recognizance, with or without surety.

Under the plain reading of this rule, it applies to cases in which a decision has been

issued ordering the release of a prisoner. No such order has been entered in this case – thus

the rule has no application to this case. Accordingly, Petitioner’s request for release pending

review of this habeas corpus petition is HEREBY DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
