MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

The court has conducted an initial review of Petitioner Ajang Arop’s Petition
for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Filing No. 1) to determine whether his claims are
potentially cognizable in federal court. Here, Petitioner has submitted a 1 page
document that does not adequately set forth Petitioner’s grounds for relief. Because
the petition is insufficient, the court will not act upon it. However, on the court’s own
motion, Petitioner will have 30 days in which to file an amended petition for writ of
habeas corpus.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED

Memorandum and Order will result in dismissal of this matter without
further notice.
