JUDGE CRENSHAW
ORDER
As explained in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, the Court finds that the
prosecutorial misconduct claim alleged in the amended petition is procedurally defaulted, as such
amendment would be futile. Accordingly, the motion to amend the petition (Doc. No. 35) is
DENIED.
This matter is now fully briefed. The Court will issue a decision as soon as practicable.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
