ORDER
The petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 2) is
GRANTED.
The petitioner, an Alabama inmate housed at the Kilby Correctional Facility, has filed
the above-captioned action for habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On the
second page of his petition (Doc. No. 1), the petitioner indicates that he is challenging a
pending detainer in the Circuit Court of Elmore County, Alabama. However, the petitioner
does not provide any other information about the judgment he is challenging. Nor does the
petitioner set forth any grounds on which he challenges the judgment. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that on or before August 2, 2011, the petitioner shall file with this court
an amendment to his § 2254 petition that clearly states (1) the judgment the petitioner is
challenging, including the date of the judgment and the court that entered the judgment, and
(2) clearly states each ground on which the petitioner challenges the judgment and sets forth
specific facts supporting each ground.

The petitioner is cautioned that his failure to comply with this Order will result in a
recommendation by the undersigned that this case be dismissed.
Done this 12th day of July, 2011.
