On May 16, 2007, Respondent filed a motion to dismiss the petition. (Doc. 5). On June

dismissed as premature. (Doc. 7). This Findings and Recommendation was served on all parties

and contained notice that any objections were to be filed within twenty days from the date of

service of that order. On July 6, 2007, Petitioner filed his objections to the Findings and

Recommendation. (Doc. 8).

a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, including Petitioner’s

IN FULL;

2. Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 5), is GRANTED;

3. This petition for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1), is DISMISSED as

PREMATURE; and

4. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to ENTER JUDGMENT and close the file. 

This order terminates the action in its entirety. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
