MEMORANDUM OPINION

On November 25, 2013, the magistrate judge notified petitioner, Jerry Gibbs-Carter

(“Petitioner”), that his petition invoking 28 U.S.C. § 2254 was deficient, and ordered Petitioner to

re-plead within thirty (30) days. (Doc. # 11). In response, Petitioner has filed a pleading styled as

an “Answer,” in which Petitioner states that his physical health is too poor to permit him to re-plead. 

(Doc. # 15). Petitioner’s Answerfurther purports to “withdraw [the] writ” until his health improves. 

(Id. at 2). To the extent that Petitioner’s Answer is construed as a voluntary motion to dismiss, it

is due to be granted.

A separate order will be entered.

DONE this the 31st day of December, 2013.
