OF SERVICE OF THIS ORDER

[Docs. 17, 18]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On February 17, 2006, the undersigned issued Findings and Recommendations

recommending that certain claims be dismissed from the petition, and Petitioner be directed to

file an amended petition regarding his parole hearing claim. The Findings and

Recommendations were adopted in full on April 7, 2006, and Petitioner was directed to file an

amended petition within thirty days from the date of service of that order. Petitioner failed to

respond to the Court’s April 7, 2006, order; therefore, Findings and Recommendations were

issued on June 5, 2006, recommending dismissal of the action for failure to prosecute. (Court

Doc. 17.) On June 12, 2006, Petitioner filed objections to the Findings and Recommendations

claiming that prison officials did not deliver his mail. (Court Doc. 18.) 

In light of Petitioner’s contention, the Findings and Recommendations of June 5, 2006,

shall be vacated, and Petitioner will be granted thirty days from the date of service of this order to
