IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT F O R THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA E A S T E R N DIVISION _____________________________ DEAN ERIC MAHONE, #214 209 P e t i t io n e r , v. W IL L IE THOMAS, WARDEN, et al., R e s p o n d e n ts . _____________________________ * * * * * 3:07-CV-600-WKW (WO)

O R D E R AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE T h e above-captioned action was filed in this court on June 28, 2007. Upon review of th e petition, the undersigned is persuaded that Petitioner's June 28 pleading is actually his c o m p lia n c e with an order entered on June 8, 2007 in Mahone v. Thomas, Civil Action No. 3 :0 7 -C V -5 0 0 -M E F . In that order, the court directed Petitioner to supplement his petition by c o m p le tin g a form used in filing petitions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The order further d ire c te d Petitioner to return the completed form to the court for filing on or before June 22, 2 0 0 7 . A review of the Petitioner's June 28 pleading also reflects that he referenced the case n u m b e r for his pending habeas corpus case on the first page of the form petition . (See Doc. N o . 1 at 1.) In light of the foregoing, the court finds it appropriate to recommend that the instant p e titio n be dismissed. The court further deems it appropriate to direct the Clerk to file a c o p y of Petitioner's June 28, 2007 pleading in Civil Action No. 3:07-CV-500-MEF and
