ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER'S MOTION TO AMEND

JOHN O'MEARA, District Judge

This matter is before the court on Petitioner's motion to amend his habeas petition. The court shall accept the amended pleading as a supplement or clarification to his original petition as it does not appear that Petitioner has deleted or added claims to his original petition. Further, the court notes that it has accepted Petitioner's habeas petition for filing, the State has filed an answer to that petition, and Petitioner has filed a reply to that answer. Accordingly, the court GRANTS Petitioner's motion to amend for consideration of the pleading as a supplement or clarification to his original petition. The court makes no determination as to the procedural or substantive merits of Petitioner's claims at this time.

I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon the parties of record on this date, March 9, 2009, by electronic and/or ordinary mail.
