On February 28, 2007, petitioner filed a letter in which he stated that he had not been served with the findings and recommendations. By order filed March 13, 2007, the magistrate judge directed the Clerk of the Court to serve a copy of the findings and recommendations on petitioner and granted petitioner a period of forty-five days in which to file a motion for relief from the February 21, 2007 order and judgment thereon together with proposed objections to the findings and recommendations. On April 23, 2007, petitioner filed a motion for relief from the February 21, 2007 order and judgment thereon together with objections to the findings and recommendations.

Good cause appearing, petitioner's April 23, 2007 motion for relief from judgment will be granted and this court's February 21, 2007 order and the judgment entered thereon will be vacated.

Petitioner's April2 3, 2007 motion for relief from judgment is granted; 2. This court's February 21, 2007 order and the judgment entered thereon are vacated; 3.
