ORDER

Pending before the court is a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Petition as Moot. 

(Doc. 18). In the Motion, petitioner’s counsel relayed his belief that the petitioner had

died. The respondents then confirmed that the petitioner had indeed died in August of

2012. (Doc. 20). Magistrate Judge Pyle issued a Report & Recommendation

recommending that (1) the Motion to Dismiss be granted and (2) the Motion to Withdraw

as Attorney (Doc. 17) be denied as moot. The court agrees with these recommendations.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED:

1. The Report & Recommendation filed April 4, 2013 (Doc. 21) is ADOPTED

and CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.

2. The Motion to Dismiss the Amended Petition (Doc. 18) is GRANTED.

3. The Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 8) is DISMISSED 

with prejudice.
