IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

JEANETTE AUSTIN

ADC #707628 PETITIONER

VS. 5:05CV00211 SWW/JTR

LARRY NORRIS, Director,

Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

Respondent has filed a Response to Petitioner’s § 2254 habeas Petition, wherein he argues

that the Petition should be dismissed because: (1) Petitioner’s claims are not cognizable in federal

habeas proceedings because they involve disciplinary punishments that implicate conditions of

confinement, which must be raised in a due process challenge under § 1983; (2) Petitioner has failed

to exhaust available state remedies; and (3) Petitioner’s claims fail on the merits. (Docket entry #7.)

The Court concludes that a Reply from Petitioner would be helpful to the resolution of this case.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT Petitioner shall file, on or before May 26, 2006, a

Reply addressing the arguments raised in the Response (docket entry #7.)

 Dated this 28th day of April, 2006.
