Grube, Jeremiah v. Richardson, Reed

Filing 10

ORDER dismissing Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus without prejudice. Signed by District Judge James D. Peterson on 8/1/2016. (elc),(ps)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

JEREMIAH J. GRUBE,
Petitioner,
v.

ORDER
14-cv-471-jdp

JEFFREY PUGH,
Respondent.

Pro se petitioner Jeremiah J. Grube filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, asserting seven different grounds for relief. After screening the
petition, I concluded that petitioner had a “mixed petition” because some of his grounds for
relief were ready for review and others were either procedurally defaulted or not yet
exhausted. Dkt. 9. The mixed petition presented petitioner with a few different options for
proceeding.
I gave petitioner until July 15, 2016, to respond to my order and indicate how he
wanted to proceed. Specifically, I directed petitioner to indicate whether he wanted to
attempt to overcome his default or exhaust his claims. I warned petitioner that if he failed to
timely respond, then I would dismiss his petition. Petitioner’s deadline has now passed and
petitioner has not responded to my order.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:
1. Petitioner Jeremiah J. Grube’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DISMISSED
without prejudice.

2. The clerk of court is directed to close this case.
Entered August 1, 2016.
