IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS C SAWYER,

Petitioner,

 v

PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF

CALIFORNIA,

Respondent. /

No C-10-3273 VRW (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL; PETITION

FILED IN ERROR; NO FILING FEE

DUE

Petitioner has filed a “petition for a writ of mandate”

directed to the Los Angeles superior court. Doc #1. The petition

was addressed to “California Supreme Court” listing this court’s

mailing address. Based on the information contained in the document

petitioner filed, it appears he intended to file a petition for writ

of mandate in the California Supreme Court after unsuccessfully

petitioning the state court of appeal for similar relief. 

Because it appears this action was filed in error, it is

hereby DISMISSED. No fee is due.
