CIVIL ACTION NO.: CV611-041.

ORDER
Petitioner has filed a Motion for Default Judgment in which he states that he is entitled to a default judgment because Respondent did not adequately respond to his petition for habeas relief. Therefore, he asserts, he should be released. Contrary to Petitioner's assertions, he is not entitled to an entry of default, as "default judgment is not contemplated in habeas corpus cases[.]" Aziz v. Leferve, 830 F.2d 184, 187 (11th Cir. 1987). Petitioner's Motion for Default and request for immediate release is DENIED.
