MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This matter is a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 by Petitioner and Kansas state prisoner Pierre Quaran Hamilton. It comes now before the Court on three pages received from Petitioner on July 21, 2025, which the Court has directed the clerk to file in this matter as a motion for order. (Doc. 9.)

The first page2 is titled "Motion for Petition of Certiorari 'Forms [and/]or Documents.'" Id. at 1. Liberally construed, it seeks a form on which to file a petition for writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court. This Court does not provide this form to litigants, but Petitioner is advised that as of the date of this order, the form and guidance are available on the Supreme Court website. See www.supremecourt.gov/filingandrules/rules_guidance.aspx. The second page received on July 21, 2025 is a letter explaining that Petitioner is submitting the first page of his amended petition "just in case." (Doc. 9, p. 2.) The third page is, in fact, a copy of the first page of the amended petition filed on July 16, 2025. (Compare id. at 3 with Doc. 8, p. 1.) The purpose of this duplicative filing is unclear and no further action will be taken on it.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT Gloria Geither, Interim Warden of Lansing Correctional Facility, where Petitioner is confined, is substituted as Respondent1 in this matter.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT the motion (Doc. 9) is denied for the reasons stated in this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: This 22nd day of July, 2025, at Kansas City, Kansas.

S/ John W. Lungstrum

United States District Judge

2 Although it was submitted with documents clearly intended to be filed in this case, this page reflects the case number and caption of another case Petitioner has brought in this Court: Case No. 25-3125-JWL. The Court has directed the Clerk to file the motion in both this case and Case No. 25-3125. In the future, Petitioner should separately submit documents intended for filing in separate cases.
