ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER LEAVE TO FILE A FIRST AMENDED PETITION [Doc. #9] ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO SEND PETITIONER A BLANK § 2241 FORM PETITION ORDER DENYING PETITIONER'S MOTION TO SUPPRESS [Doc. #7]

DENNIS BECK, Magistrate Judge

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.

No respondent has yet been ordered to appear in or respond to this matter.

Motion to Amend Petition

On June 9, 2009, Petitioner filed a motion to amend his petition. (Doc. #9). Petitioner seeks to add two new claims regarding a disciplinary hearing to the original petition.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(1) allows a party leave to amend its pleading once as a matter of right "before being served with a responsive pleading . . ." Thereafter, "a party may amend its pleading only with the opposing party's written consent or the court's leave. The court should freely give leave when justice so requires." Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a)(2). It is important to note that, should a petitioner wish to amend a petition, he must do so by submitting a document entitled "Amended Petition," which must be a complete petition for writ of habeas corpus which will replace the previously-filed petition. Local Rule 15-220. The Court cannot add, remove, or replace pages of a petition that has already been filed.

No responsive pleading has yet been filed in this case and the motion to amend is the first filed by Petitioner. Because Petitioner is within the requirements to amend his petition as a matter of right, Petitioner is hereby GRANTED leave to file a first amend petition for writ of habeas corpus within thirty (30) days of service of this order.

Motion to Suppress

On June 8, 2000, Petitioner filed a motion to suppress a prison surveillance videotape made on July 15, 2008 at Atwater United States Penitentiary. (Doc. #7). At this point, the Court has not been presented with any physical evidence of any kind, including a videotape. Because the Court has no evidence to suppress, Petitioner's motion to suppress is hereby DENIED.

Order

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:

1) Petitioner is GRANTED leave to file a first amended petition for writ of habeas corpus within thirty (30) days of the service of this order;

2) The clerk of the court is ORDERED to send Petitioner a blank § 2241 form petition; and

3) Petitioner's motion to suppress is hereby DENIED.
