The issues have been considered and a decision has been rendered.IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED the Report and Recommendation is adopted and approved and Respondents motion to dismiss is DENIED and the petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is GRANTED.
Enclosed are copies of my Report and Recommendation and proposed order and proposed judgment in the above-captioned case. The originals are being filed with the Clerk. This Report and Recommendation is not an appealable order. Any notice of appeal should not be filed until the District Judge enters judgment in this case.
Because the court has ordered expedited consideration of these cases, we are directing responses to the Report and Recommendation more quickly than would otherwise be provided under the rules.

You should note your objections for consideration on the Judge's motion calendar for the second Friday after they are filed.
