ORDER

BOYD BOLAND, Magistrate Judge

This matter is before me on the petitioner's Request to Add One Respondent, filed February 3, 2006. The petitioner seeks to add a respondent to his habeas petition, but he does not identify the respondent that he wishes to add.¹ Any future motion to amend should include a copy of the proposed amended petition, stating all of the claims the petitioner seeks to assert against all respondents. The amended petition must stand alone and may not incorporate any previous petition by reference. Accordingly,

1 I note that the petitioner was recently informed by the Court that he must name both the state officer who has present official custody of him and the attorney general of the state whose action subjects him to future custody. Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts, Rule 2(b) and the Advisory Committee Notes, 1976 Adoption, regarding Rule 2(b) (made applicable to Section 2241 cases by Rule 1(b) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases). The petitioner has finally named the proper respondents.

IT IS ORDERED that the petitioner's Request to Add One Respondent is DENIED.
