ORDER

On May 7, 2007, Samuel L. Henderson brought this Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (#1) challenging his state court conviction. Pending are:

Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss (#15), Petitioner’s Motion for Appointment of Counsel

(#17), and Petitioner’s Motion for Voluntary Dismissal (#20). In his Motion for

Voluntary Dismissal, Petitioner concedes that he has not properly raised his claims in

state court and requests that his petition be dismissed without prejudice to permit him to

do so. 

For good cause, Petitioner’s Motion for Voluntary Dismissal (#20) is GRANTED

and Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (#1) is dismissed WITHOUT

PREJUDICE. Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss (#15) and Petitioner’s Motion for

Appointment of Counsel (#17) are DENIED as moot.

DATED this 26th day of September, 2007.
