MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Respondents.

____________________________________:
Petitioner, Umma Dumma (“Petitioner” or “Dumma”), is a state prisoner proceeding pro
se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In July, 2017, this
Court administratively terminated this matter. (See ECF 4). Petitioner had failed to file his §
2254 habeas petition on the proper form and his request for relief due to his conditions of
confinement and lack of adequate medical care were not properly brought in this federal habeas
action. (See id.). In April, 2023, and again in June, 2023, Petitioner filed letters in this habeas
action. (See ECF 5, 6 & 7). So that those letters can be analyzed, the Clerk will be ordered to
reopen this case.
Petitioner’s letters do not warrant this Court analyzing Petitioner’s action in this case
under § 2254. Indeed, he has not compiled with this Court’s July, 2017 order requiring him to
file his § 2254 habeas petition on the proper form. Accordingly, the Clerk will be ordered to readministratively terminate this case.
Therefore, IT IS on this 6th day of July 2023,
ORDERED that the Clerk shall reopen this case so that Petitioner’s recent letter filings
(ECF 6, 7 & 8) can be analyzed; and it is further

ORDERED that the Clerk shall re-administratively terminate this case as Petitioner has

ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve this memorandum and order on Petitioner by
regular U.S. mail.
