ORDER STRIKING OBJECTIONS FILED

ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2005

[Doc. #5]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On August 22, 2005, the Court issued a Findings and Recommendation that recommended

the petition be dismissed. On September 8, 2005, Marc E. Grossman, Esq., filed objections

purportedly on behalf of Petitioner. In the objections, Mr. Grossman stated that he was filing the

objections on behalf of Petitioner but stated that the brief was an amicus curiae brief. 

On November 17, 2005, Petitioner submitted his own objections. On March 9, 2006,

Petitioner wrote a letter to the Court stating the Court’s docket incorrectly reflected Mr. Grossman as

his attorney of record. In fact, Petitioner stated he was proceeding pro per and requested the Court

correct the docket to remove Mr. Grossman as attorney of record.

Petitioner is advised that the Court has corrected the docket and reinstated Petitioner as

proceeding pro se. Petitioner’s objections filed on November 17, 2005, are CONSTRUED as his

objections, and the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to reflect this in the docket. In addition, the

objections filed by Mr. Grossman are hereby STRICKEN as an unauthorized filing, because

Petitioner is not represented by Mr. Grossman. Mr. Grossman is advised that amicus curiae briefs are

not appropriate in habeas proceedings without invitation or permission of the Court, and he is

cautioned not to file such amicus curiae briefs in the future absent the Court’s authorization. The

Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to serve this order on Petitioner and Mr. Grossman.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
