Mandamus (Doc. 1) is DENIED, that his motion to amend his petition (Doc. 3) is

DENIED as futile, and that this mandamus action is DISMISSED. In accordance 

with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58, final judgment shall be entered by separate

SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

 1 Included within Plaintiff’s objection is a motion for the Court to construe his Petition for Writ of 

Mandamus as a motion for summary judgment, but he does not specify on what cause of action he seeks 

summary judgment. He states that he realizes a mandamus is not appropriate, but that his petition should 

not be construed as a 2254 petition. Because there is nothing before the Court on which summary 

judgment could be granted, the motion is DENIED.
