ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT

OF HABEAS CORPUS

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT

TO ENTER JUDGMENT

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The parties having voluntarily consented to exercise of Magistrate

Judge jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1), by order dated December 3, 2007, this case was

assigned to the undersigned for all purposes, including entry of final judgment.

On January 7, 2008, the undersigned issued an order in which it was determined that the

instant petition was a mixed petition containing exhausted and unexhausted claims. The Court

granted Petitioner an opportunity to file a motion to withdraw the unexhausted claims in lieu of

suffering dismissal of the action. Petitioner was informed that should he fail to file a motion to

withdraw the unexhausted claims, the Court would assume he desired to return to state court and

would therefore dismiss the petition without prejudice. Petitioner was granted thirty (30) days to file
