NO. 5:13-CV-253 (MTT)

ORDER

On July 23, 2013, this Court dismissed without prejudice Petitioner’s successive
habeas corpus petition (Doc. 7). Petitioner has now filed a “Motion for this Court to issue
order to say (state waived all procedures courts have blocking all my suits types), due to
state violating procedures in 1997(e)(a) 42 U.S.C. …” (Doc. 19). Petitioner’s motion is
DENIED. The code section to which Petitioner refers, of 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a), applies
to civil rights lawsuits, not habeas actions. See Watkins v. Haynes, 445 F. App’x 181,
183-84 (11th Cir. Sept. 9, 2011) (“exhaustion requirement of the Prison Litigation Reform
Act (“PLRA”), 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a), does not apply to habeas petitions”).
SO ORDERED, this 23rd day of August, 2013.

S/ Marc T. Treadwell
MARC T. TREADWELL, JUDGE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
