Wilson v. Brown Doc. 26 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Richmond Division NATALIA LESCHENKO WILSON, Petitioner, V. Civil Action No. 3;14cv768 TAMMY BROWN, Warden of the Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women, Respondent. MEMORANDUM OPINION Petitioner Natalia Leschenko Wilson, a Virginia state inmate, brings, through counsel, this petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2254^ ("§ 2254 Petition"). (ECF No. 1.) Brown filed a Supplemental Motion to Dismiss ("Supplemental Motion") and Rule 5 Answer. (ECF Nos. 18, 19.) Wilson responded to the Supplemental Motion. (ECF No. 21.) Wilson also filed a Motion to Supplement the Record. (ECF No. 22.) Brown responded. (ECF No. 24.) Neither party filed a reply, and the time to do so has expired. The matters are ripe for disposition. The Court dispenses with oral argument because the materials before it adequately present the facts and legal contentions, and argument would not aid the decisional process. For the reasons that follow, the Court will deny Wilson's Motion to Supplement the Record. The Court will grant the Supplemental Motion to Dismiss and dismiss the § 2254 Petition. ^28 U.S.C. § 2254(a) states in relevant part: The Supreme Court [of the United States], a Justice thereof, a [federal] circuit judge, or a [federal] district court shall entertain an application for a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of a person in custody pursuant to the judgment of a State court only on the ground that he [or she] is in custody in violation of the Constitution or laws or treaties of the United States. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(a).
