BRIEFING ORDER


Petitioner ROBERT LEE DANIELS has filed with this Court an Amended Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in State Custody. Petitioner's amended petition, however, is incoherent, fails to clearly state the claims on which petitioner contends he is being unlawfully held, and fails to state the relief petitioner is seeking by his habeas application. Even viewing the Amended Petition liberally, the Court is unable to determine the bases upon which petitioner claims he is being held unlawfully or the relief petitioner seeks.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

Petitioner shall submit a "Supplemental Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus" setting forth the grounds on which he bases his belief that he is being held unlawfully. Each ground must then be supported by specific facts and a legal basis. Petitioner's shall attach to his supplemental petition copies of any documents and/or authorities upon which he relies to support his argument, or shall reference a specific citation to said authorities. Petitioner shall also set forth, with specificity, the relief or result he is seeking by his federal habeas application.

Such supplemental petition shall be filed with the Court on or before April 28, 2004. Failure to timely comply with this Order will result in the entry of a recommendation to dismiss this case without further notice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
