MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

NANNETTE A. BAKER, Magistrate Judge.

This matter is before the Court upon review of petitioner=s application for a writ of habeas corpus brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

Petitioner=s application for habeas relief appears to be missing pages and has not been submitted in numerical sequence. Moreover, although petitioner has submitted parts of his petition on a court-provided form, other parts of the petition have not been completed on the form. Both this Court=s Local Rule 2.06(A) and Rule 2(c) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts give this Court the authority to order petitioner to amend his petition by filing it on a court-provided form. Because the manner in which the instant petition is drafted makes it difficult to review, the Court will order petitioner to file an amended application. Petitioner is additionally reminded to sign his petition for habeas corpus.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall forward to petitioner with a copy of this order the court-provided form for filing a "Petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in State Custody" (AO Form 241).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petitioner shall complete this form in its entirety and return it within thirty (30) days from the date of this order.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if petitioner fails to complete and return this form within thirty (30) days, the Court will dismiss this action without prejudice.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that upon petitioner=s filing of the form petition, the Clerk shall resubmit this matter to the Court for review pursuant to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Habeas Corpus.
