In light of the difficulty in having Petitioner submit a new

habeas corpus petition, Petitioner is ORDERED to submit a

separate document stating that he submitted the petition to the

Court and verifying its contents to be true under penalty of

perjury of the laws of the United States. Petitioner must sign

the document under penalty of perjury; the document should

contain an original signature. Petitioner must state the date on

which he signed the document. Petitioner is GRANTED thirty (30)

from the date of service of this order to comply with the Court’s

directive. 

Petitioner is forewarned that failure to comply with a Court

order will result in dismissal of the petition pursuant to Local

Rule 110.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
