ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT PETITION AND

PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR

PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

[Doc. #9]

ORDER MODIFYING BRIEFING SCHEDULE

[Doc. #7]

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On September 8, 2006, Petitioner filed a motion for preliminary injunction. On

September 26, 2006, Petitioner filed the instant motion to supplement his petition and to supplement

his motion for preliminary injunction. Respondent has not filed an opposition to Petitioner’s motion.

In addition, Respondent has not yet filed an answer to the petition.

Rule 15(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides, in relevant part:

(a) Supplemental Pleadings. Upon motion of a party the court may, upon reasonable notice

and upon such terms as are just, permit the party to serve a supplemental pleading setting

forth transactions or occurrences or events which have happened since the date of the

pleading sought to be supplemented. Permission may be granted even though the original

pleading is defective in its statement of a claim for relief or defense. If the court deems it

advisable that the adverse party plead to the supplemental pleading, it shall so order,

specifying the time therefor.
