Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding through counsel with an application for a

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On December 27, 2005, respondent filed a

motion to dismiss the petition based on petitioner’s failure to name a proper respondent,

inclusion of unexhausted claims, and failure to provide supporting facts. 

On February 24, 2006, petitioner was ordered to show cause, within twenty days,

why respondent’s motion to dismiss should not be granted. On March 13, 2006, counsel for

petitioner filed an opposition to the motion. Good cause appearing, the order to show cause will

be discharged.

Petitioner appended a proposed amended petition to his opposition. Petitioner has

now named the proper respondent, omitted the unexhausted claims and added facts in support of

his exhausted claims. Good cause appearing, respondent’s motion to dismiss will be granted and
