CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:14-CV-1918

JERMAINE A THOMAS, Petitioner, v. US IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT, Defendant.
OPINION ON DISMISSAL
On June 27, 2014, Petitioner Jermaine A. Thomas (A# 42132384) filed pro se a petition for writ of habeas corpus in Cause Number 4:14-cv-1803 (S.D. Tex.-Houston (Docket No. 1)) in this Court. The petition challenges pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 Petitioner's continued detention by the Department of Homeland Security. Around the same time, Petitioner submitted separately to the Clerk of Court a letter and various documents regarding his petition which were mistakenly docketed in the present case as an initial pleading in a new habeas corpus action. (Docket No. 1.) After reviewing these documents the Court finds that the present case is redundant and the documents filed here should be re-docketed in Petitioner's original habeas action.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the above captioned case is DISMISSED and the Clerk's Office shall re-docket the initial pleading here (Docket No. 1) as a supplement to the petition in Cause Number 4:14-cv-1803.
It is SO ORDERED.
SIGNED at Houston, Texas, this 7th day of August, 2014.
