ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION (Doc. 3)

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION

FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On July 5, 2007, the Magistrate Judge filed Findings and a

Recommendation that the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be

DISMISSED as the Petition does not allege grounds that would

entitle Petitioner to habeas corpus relief. These Findings and

Recommendation were served on all parties and contained notice that

any objections were to be filed within thirty (30) days from the

date of service of that order. On July 16, 2007, Petitioner filed

objections to the Findings and Recommendation.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a de novo review of the case. 

Having carefully reviewed the entire file, including Petitioner's

objections, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge's

Findings and Recommendation are supported by the record and proper

analysis. Petitioner's objections do not question the Magistrate

Judge's analysis. Rather, Petitioner requests that instead of

dismissing this action and having Petitioner file a new civil

rights action, the court simply construe this action as a civil

rights action and allow Petitioner to file an amended pleading. 

It is not this court's policy to construe prisoner pro se filings

as "what they should be." There is no reason why Petitioner

cannot file a new action. If statute of limitations concerns

arise, Petitioner can always request that a new action be related

back to the filing date of this action.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendation, filed July 5, 2007, are

ADOPTED IN FULL;

2. The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is DISMISSED as

the Petition does not allege grounds that would entitle Petitioner

to habeas corpus relief; 

3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to send Petitioner the

form for a civil rights action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
