ORDER VACATING ORDER TO SHOW

CAUSE AND FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DIRECTING

PETITIONER TO INFORM COURT OF HIS

INTENT TO VOLUNTARILY DISMISS

PETITION

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

Petitioner filed the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus on September 28, 2006. 

(Court Doc. 1.) On November 6, 2006, the Court issued an order to show cause why the petition

should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim. (Court Doc. 4.) On January 3, 2007,

Petitioner filed a motion to withdraw the instant petition. (Court Doc. 5.) The motion was not

entered into the Court’s docketing system until January 4, 2007. (Id.) On January 4, 2007, the

Court issued Findings and Recommendations recommending that the petition be dismissed for

failure to state a claim and for failure to comply with a court order. (Court Doc. 6.) 

Upon further review of the instant petition, the Court finds that the instant petition is not

deficient and the order to show cause and Findings and Recommendations issued shall be

vacated, and Petitioner will be directed to inform the Court whether he still wishes to withdraw

the instant petition, in light of the fact that the Court finds the petition states a cognizable claim.
