IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Jeremy Gough,

Petitioner, 

v. 

Unknown Party,

Respondent.

No. CV-24-03034-PHX-JAT (JFM)

ORDER

Petitioner Jeremy Gough, who is confined in the Federal Correctional InstitutionPhoenix, has filed a pro se Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 

(“Petition”) and paid the filing fee.

I. Petition not on Court-Approved Form

Pursuant to Rule 3.5(a) of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure, Petitioner is required 

to use a court-approved form when he files a pro se petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

The Court may, in its discretion, forgo the requirement that a petitioner use a courtapproved form. See LRCiv 3.5(a). The Court will require use of the court-approved form 

because Petitioner’s Petition does not substantially comply with the court-approved form. 

The Court will dismiss the Petition without prejudice and with leave to file an amended 

petition within 30 days.

II. Leave to Amend

Within 30 days, Petitioner may submit an amended petition on the court-approved 

form. The Clerk of Court will mail Petitioner a court-approved form to use for filing a

§ 2241 Petition.

Petitioner is advised that the amended petition should clearly set out each claim 

Petitioner is making. If Petitioner cannot fit all of his supporting facts or arguments in 

favor of a particular ground on the court-approved form, then he may continue on an 

attachment, but each matter on any attachment must be clearly referenced to a particular 

ground on the court-approved form. 

The amended petition must be retyped or rewritten in its entirety on the courtapproved form and may not incorporate any part of the original Petition by reference. Any 

amended petition submitted by Petitioner should be clearly designated as such on the face 

of the document. 

An amended petition supersedes the original Petition. Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 

1258, 1262 (9th Cir. 1992); Hal Roach Studios v. Richard Feiner & Co., Inc., 896 F.2d 

1542, 1546 (9th Cir. 1990). After amendment, the original pleading is treated as 

nonexistent. Ferdik, 963 F.2d at 1262. Any ground for relief that was raised in the original 

Petition and that was voluntarily dismissed or was dismissed without prejudice is waived 

if it is not alleged in an amended petition. Lacey v. Maricopa County, 693 F.3d 896, 928 

(9th Cir. 2012) (en banc).

III. Warnings

A. Address Changes

Petitioner must file and serve a notice of a change of address in accordance with 

Rule 83.3(d) of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Petitioner must not include a motion 

for other relief with a notice of change of address. Failure to comply may result in dismissal 

of this action.

B. Possible Dismissal

If Petitioner fails to timely comply with every provision of this Order, including 

these warnings, the Court may dismiss this action without further notice. See Ferdik, 963 

F.2d at 1260-61 (a district court may dismiss an action for failure to comply with any order 

of the Court).

Instructions for Filing a Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 

for Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in Federal Custody 

in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona

1. Who May Use This Form. If you are detained in Arizona, you may use this form to 

challenge your detention by federal immigration authorities or to challenge the execution of your 

federal sentence by the United States Bureau of Prisons. You are asking for release or earlier 

release on the grounds that your detention or future detention violates the United States 

Constitution or other federal law. You should not use this form to challenge a state or federal 

judgment of conviction or sentence. If you are challenging a conviction or sentence entered 

against you by a state court, you should file a petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for writ of habeas 

corpus by a person in state custody. If you are challenging a judgment of conviction or sentence 

entered by a federal court, you should file a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate sentence in 

the federal court that entered the judgment. Any claim that may be brought or has already been 

brought in a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 may not be brought using this form unless it appears 

that the § 2255 motion is inadequate or ineffective to test the legality of your detention. This 

form should not be used in death penalty cases. If you were sentenced to death, you are 

entitled to the assistance of counsel and you should request the appointment of counsel. 

2. The Form. Local Rule of Civil Procedure (LRCiv) 3.5(a) provides that habeas corpus 

petitions must be filed on the court-approved form. The form must be typed or neatly 

handwritten. All questions must be answered clearly and concisely in the appropriate space on 

the form. If needed, you may attach additional pages. The form, however, must be completely 

filled in to the extent applicable. You do not need to cite law. If you want to file a brief or 

arguments, you must attach a separate memorandum. 

3. Your Signature. You must tell the truth and sign the form. If you make a false statement of a 

material fact, you may be prosecuted for perjury. 

4. The Filing Fee. The filing fee for this action is $5.00. If you are unable to pay the filing fee, 

you may request permission to proceed in forma pauperis by completing and signing the 

Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis provided with the petition form. You must have an 

official at the prison or jail complete the certificate at the bottom of the application form. If the 

amount of money in your account exceeds $25.00, you must pay the $5.00 filing fee. LRCiv 

3.5(b). 

5. Original and Judge’s Copy. You must send an original plus one copy of your petition and 

of any other document submitted to the Court. You must send one additional copy to the Court 

if you wish to have a file-stamped copy of the document returned to you. All copies must be 

identical to the original. Copies may be legibly handwritten. 

6. Where to File. You should file your petition in the division where you are detained. See

LRCiv 5.1(a). If you are detained in Maricopa, Pinal, Yuma, La Paz, or Gila County, you should 

file your petition in the Phoenix Division. If you are detained in Apache, Navajo, Coconino, 

Mohave, or Yavapai County, you should file your petition in the Prescott Division. If you are 

detained in Pima, Cochise, Santa Cruz, Graham, or Greenlee County, you should file your 

Case 2:24-cv-03034-JAT--JFM Document 3 Filed 12/20/24 Page 4 of 15

petition in the Tucson Division. See LRCiv 5.1(b) and 77.1(a). Mail the original and one copy 

of your petition with the $5.00 filing fee or the application to proceed in forma pauperis to:

Phoenix & Prescott Divisions: OR Tucson Division: 

U.S. District Court Clerk U.S. District Court Clerk

U.S. Courthouse, Suite 130 U.S. Courthouse, Suite 1500 

401 West Washington Street, SPC 10 405 West Congress Street

Phoenix, Arizona 85003-2119 Tucson, Arizona 85701-5010 

7. Change of Address. You must immediately notify the Court and respondents in writing of 

any change in your mailing address. Failure to notify the Court of any change in your 

mailing address may result in the dismissal of your case.

8. Certificate of Service. You must provide the respondents with a copy of any document you 

submit to the Court (except the initial petition and application to proceed in forma pauperis). 

Each original document (except the initial petition and application to proceed in forma pauperis) 

must include a certificate of service on the last page of the document stating the date a copy of 

the document was mailed to the respondents and the address to which it was mailed. Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 5(a), (d). Any document received by the Court that does not include a certificate of 

service may be stricken. A certificate of service should be in the following form: 

I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was mailed

this (month, day, year) to: 

Name: 

Address: 

 Attorney for Respondent(s) 

 

(Signature)

9. Amended Petition. If you need to change any of the information in the initial petition, you 

must file an amended petition. The amended petition must be written on the court-approved 

petition for writ of habeas corpus form. You may amend your pleading once without leave 

(permission) of Court within 21 days after serving it or within 21 days after any respondent has 

filed an answer, whichever is earlier. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). Thereafter, you must file a 

motion for leave to amend and lodge (submit) a proposed amended petition. LRCiv 15.1. An 

amended petition may not incorporate by reference any part of your prior petition. LRCiv 

15.1(a)(2). Any grounds not included in the amended petition are considered dismissed. 

10. Exhibits. If available, you should attach a copy of all federal court and administrative written 

decisions regarding the detention you are challenging. You should not submit any other exhibits 

with the petition. Instead, the relevant information should be paraphrased in the petition. 

11. Letters and Motions. It is generally inappropriate to write a letter to any judge or the staff of 

any judge. The only appropriate way to communicate with the Court is by filing a written 

pleading or motion.

12. Exhaustion. In order to proceed with this petition in federal court, you ordinarily must 

exhaust any administrative remedies available to you. If you did not fairly present each of your 

grounds to the appropriate administrative agencies, your petition may be dismissed. 

FINAL NOTE

You should follow these instructions carefully. Failure to do so may result in your 

petition being stricken or dismissed by the Court. All questions must be answered concisely in 

the proper space on the form. If you need more space, you may attach additional pages. But the 

form must be completely filled in to the extent applicable. If you attach additional pages, be sure 

to identify which section of the petition is being continued and number all pages.
