ORDER
Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s Motion To Introduce Florida Supreme
Court and 1st District Court of Appeals Docket Sheets. (Doc. 18.) Petitioner seeks to
introduce the docket sheets from his state court appeals. Petitioner’s motion fails to
request specific relief from the Court. Rather, the motion simply attempts to bring to the
attention of the Court matters that have occurred during the course of state
proceedings. To this extent these matters are relevant to the Court’s determination of
Plaintiff’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, the motion
is granted to the extent the Court will take note of these matters if necessary in ruling
upon Petitioner’s habeas corpus petition.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:
Petitioner’s Motion To Introduce Florida Supreme Court and 1st District Court of
Appeals Docket Sheets (Doc. 18) is GRANTED to the limited extent that the Court, if
necessary, will consider the matters raised in the motion in ruling upon Petitioner’s

petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.
