Petitioner,
v.
ALANA BOYLES1,
Respondent,

No. 4:17-CV-860 RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Upon review of the casefile it appears that the application for habeas corpus filed in this
matter should have been filed as an amended application for habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 2254 in Young v. Boyles, Case No. 4:15-CV-867 JAR (E.D.Mo.), rather than as a new case in
this Court. As such, the Court will order the Clerk to transfer the instant petition to Case No.
4:15-CV-867 JAR (E.D.Mo) to be filed as an amended petition in that action. The Court will also
order the Clerk to administratively close the present action.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall change the docket to reflect the proper
respondent in this case, as the Warden of Chillicothe Correctional Center is Alana Boyles.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the application for habeas corpus filed in the present
action shall be transferred to Young v. Boyles, Case No. 4:15-CV-867 JAR (E.D.Mo) and filed as
an amended petition in that action.
