1. X I wish the court to rule on my § 2254
petition as currently pending. I realize
' - that the law does not allow me to file . ‘
successive or later petitions unless I
receive certification to do so from the
United States Court of Appeals for the
Third Circuit; therefore, this petition
will be my one opportunity to seek federal
habeas corpus relief.

include all the grounds I have. I will
, do so within thirty (30)"days. I realize

successive or later petitions unless I
receive certification to do so from the
United States Court of Appeals for the
Third Circuit; therefore, this amended
all-inclusive petition will be my one
opportunity to seek federal habeas corpus
relief._
