TERRY BROWN, PETITIONERv.LOUIS S. FOLINO, ET AL., RESPONDENTS
ORDER AND NOW, this 19th day of May, 2006, upon consideration of the petition for writ of habeas corpus, and it appearing that the petition may be construed and ruled upon under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, see id. ("[A] district court shall entertain an application for a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of a person in custody pursuant to the judgment of a State court only on the ground that he is in custody in violation of the Constitution or laws or treaties of the United States."), but that construing and ruling upon the petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 may preclude petitioner from filing a second or successive petition for writ of habeas corpus, see id. § 2244(b) (providing that a "second or successive habeas corpus application" under § 2254 may be filed only in limited circumstances and with approval by a court of appeals); Mason v. Myers, 208 F.3d 414, 417-18 (3d Cir. 2000) (instructing district courts to provide notice to pro se petitioners of potential ramifications of filing petition under § 2254); but cf. Pliler v. Ford, 124 S.Ct. 2441, 2446 (2004) (disapproving of requirement that district courts give habeas petitioners warnings related to exhaustion and statute of limitations), it is hereby ORDERED that:
___ I elect to have my petition construed and ruled upon under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. ___ I elect to withdraw my petition with the intent of filing an all-inclusive motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, raising all grounds for relief, within 120 days of the date of this order.
