Case No. 04-73777.

October 27, 2005

OPINION AND ORDER At a session of said Court, held in the U.S. District Courthouse, Eastern District of Michigan, on October 27, 2005.

PATRICK DUGGAN, Senior District Judge

This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's request for an order requiring the Clerk of the Court to furnish to him certain documents pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2250. Petitioner requests copies of his previously filed habeas petitions and the opinions and orders disposing of those petitions so that he may file a motion in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals seeking permission to file a second or successive habeas petition. Pursuant to Sixth Circuit Rule 22, Petitioner must file these documents with his motion in order for the court to consider his case. See Mot. Ex. A.

On this date, this Court is sending Petitioner copies of the requested materials. Accordingly, it is not necessary to issue an order to the Clerk of the Court pursuant to Section 2250.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED, that Petitioner's request for an order requiring the Clerk to furnish him with certain documents is DENIED AS MOOT.
