ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

MOTION TO AMEND PETITION

[Doc. 5]

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 26, 2010, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. (Pet., ECF No.

1.) On August 9, 2010, Petitioner filed the instant motion to amend the petition along with a

first amended petition. (Mot. & First Am. Pet., ECF Nos. 5-6.) Petitioner seeks to include

further supporting documentation and evidence with his petition. Rule 15(a) of the Federal

Rules of Civil Procedure provides, in relevant part:

(1) Amending as a Matter of Course. A party may amend its

pleading once as a matter of course: (A) 21 days after serving it,

or (B) if the pleading is one to which a responsive pleading is

required, 21 days after service of a responsive pleading or 21 days

after service of a motion under Rule 12(b), (e), or (f), whichever is

earlier.
