                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION

       At the time petitioner filed his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, he was detained at the

District of Columbia Jail pursuant to a parole violator warrant issued by the United States Parole

Commission (“USPC”). See Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in Custody in the

District of Columbia [Dkt. #1] at 5. The USPC filed a motion to dismiss the petition [Dkt. #5]

on February 6, 2012. On February 8, 2012, the Court issued an Order which directed the

petitioner to file his opposition or other response to the motion no later than March 9, 2012. The

Order notified petitioner that, if he failed to respond by that date, the Court would treat the

USPC’s motion as conceded and may summarily dismiss this case. To date, petitioner neither

has filed an opposition, a request for more time to file an opposition, nor a change of address. 1
