pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On January 26, 2006, Petitioner filed a motion to dismiss the petition for writ of habeas

corpus without prejudice. Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, "an

action may be dismissed by the [Petitioner] without order of court by filing a notice of dismissal at

any time before service by the adverse party of an answer . . . ." Pursuant to Rule 11 of the Rules

Governing Section 2254 Cases, the "Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to the extent that they are not
