ORDER

13

Before the Court for consideration is Petitioner Leland Jones’ Petition for Writ of

14

Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. #1), filed October 16, 2013. Petitioner

15

Jones is currently a defendant in a criminal prosecution pending in this District styled

16

United States of America vs. Ross Hack and Leland Jones, 2:12:cr-00063-PMP-CWH.

17

That case is currently scheduled to commence trial in September 2014. Because the

18

issues raised in Jones’ Petition have been, and are currently being addressed in the

19

companion criminal case, the Court finds the instant Petition to be unnecessarily

20

duplicative. Any relief sought by Petitioner Jones in the instant Petition has and/or can

21

be requested in the companion criminal case.

22

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

23

under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. #1) is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice.

24

Dated: June 6, 2014.
