MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is a habeas corpus petition. On May 16, 2007, the magistrate judge entered a report and

recommendation, recommending that the petition be dismissed because Allen sought in his petition

and amended petition to have this court order that the indictment against him be dismissed, rather

than to have his right to a speedy trial enforced. 

Allen filed objectionsto the report and recommendation on May 24, 2007. In his objections,

Allen appeared to seek to enforce his right to a speedy trial. Therefore, the magistrate judge

considered Allen’s objections as an amendment to his petition, raising a claim that he is being denied

his right to a speedy trial. 

On June 5, 2007, the magistrate judge entered a supplemental report and recommendation,

recommending that the petition be dismissed because Allen has failed to exhaust the state remedies

available to him with respect to his claim that he is being denied his right to a speedy trial. The

petitioner was given fifteen days in which to file objections to the supplemental report and

recommendation. To date, no objections have been filed.
