Either with the filing of the answer or within fifteen (15) days after the answer is filed, respondent shall move for the petition to be dismissed or shall explain in writing to the Court why the petition cannot be adjudicated by a motion to dismiss. No discovery shall be commenced by either party without the express permission of the Court. Unless and until petitioner demonstrates to this Court that the state habeas court's factfinding procedure was not adequate to afford a full and fair evidentiary hearing or that the state habeas court did not afford the opportunity for a full, fair, and adequate hearing, this Court's consideration of this habeas petition will be limited to an examination of the evidence and others matters presented to the state trial, habeas, and appellate courts. A copy of the petition and any future amendments thereto and a copy of this order shall be served by the Clerk by certified mail on the respondent and on the Attorney General of the State of Georgia. The Clerk of the Court is further directed to serve a copy of this order upon the petitioner. The petitioner is advised that his failure to keep the Clerk of the Court informed as to any change of address may result in the dismissal of this action. SO ORDERED, this 17th day February, 2006.
