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

At the time Petitioner filed the instant petition, he named the Bureau of Prisons as

Respondent. On June 11, 2008, the Court issued an order to show cause why the petition should

not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. (Court Doc. 5.) Petitioner filed a response on June 20,

2008, naming Warden Dan Smith, as Respondent. (Court Doc. 6.) 

Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to substitute Warden Smith as the

Respondent in this action.
