MEMORANDUM ORDER
On September 13, 2000, petitioner Johny T. Bolton filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging only that he was wrongly arrested for violating the terms of probation. (D.I. 2) On April 10, 2002, the court determined that petitioner's allegations were too vague for respondents to formulate an adequate response, and instructed petitioner to file an amended petition within thirty days. (D.I. 15) The court advised petitioner that failure to file an amended petition would result in summary dismissal of his petition without further notice. (Id.) More than thirty days have passed, and petitioner has not filed an amended petition.
Accordingly, at Wilmington, this 31st day of May, 2002;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
(1) Petitioner Johny T. Bolton's application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is dismissed, and the relief requested therein is denied.
(2) The court declines to issue a certificate of appealability for failure to "make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right." 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000).
