4, 2005 (Doc. #4) is adopted;

1 The court notes that any § 2254 petition filed by the petitioner is likewise subject to

the one-year period of limitation contained in 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1). Moreover, the court finds

that there are no circumstances present in this case which "would entitle [Nissen] in the interest

of justice to transfer [pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631] or stay . . . because the limitations period had

already expired before he filed" the instant habeas action. Guenther v. Holt, 173 F.3d 1328,

1330-1331 (11th Cir. 1999).
