FootNotes


1. The Court also notes that mail sent to Petitioner by the Clerk of the Court at the address he provided was returned as undeliverable. (See ECF No. 2.) However, the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator, available at http://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/, indicates that Petitioner's address and SBI number on file with the Court are correct.
