Opinion
Civil No. 7:11-CV-145-O-BL
07-05-2012
KEITH ROSELL WHITE, Petitioner, v. DAVID DUKE, Respondent.
Referred to U.S. Magistrate Judge
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This is a petition for writ of habeas corpus brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 by a person who, at the time of filing, was confined to the Wichita County Jail Annex in Wichita Falls, Texas. On May 1, 2012 (Doc. 12), the Court entered an order referring this matter to the United States Magistrate Judge for pretrial management. On May 11, 2012, the Court's order was returned to the Clerk of Court as undeliverable. Stamped on the front of the envelope are the words "ATTEMPTED TO LOCATE ... RETURN TO SENDER... NOT IN CUSTODY." Because Petitioner's current address is unknown, this case cannot proceed.
IT IS, THEREFORE, RECOMMENDED that Petitioner's pending motions for injunction (Doc. 9) and mandamus (Doc. 10) be denied, and this case be dismissed without prejudice to Petitioner's right to re-open the case, provided he files a written request within thirty days of the date of this order and provides the Court with his current address. After thirty days, Petitioner will be required to file a new case if he wishes to pursue his grounds for habeas relief.
SO ORDERED.
