IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI OXFORD DIVISION

ANDREW JAMISON PETITIONER

v. No. 3:20CV20-SA-JMV

WARDEN RON KING RESPONDENT

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO AMEND

This matter comes before the court on the motion by the petitioner to amend his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. A “court should freely give leave [to amend] when justice so requires.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)). Although not automatic, the decision to grant or deny such leave is within the sound discretion of the district court. Bloom v. Bexar County, Texas, 130 F.3d 722, 727 (5th Cir. 1997), Halbert v. City of Sherman, 33 F.3d 526, 529 (5th Cir. 1994). The motion is well taken and is GRANTED. The instant petition for a writ of habeas corpus is deemed amended as of the date the instant motion was filed.

SO ORDERED, this, the 1st day of April, 2020.
