FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Jon Sidney Solnicka, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

Charles L Ryan, et al., 

Respondents.

No. CV-16-00995-PHX-SPL (ESW)

ORDER 

On April 11, 2016, Jon Sidney Solnicka (“Petitioner”) filed a pro se Petition for 

Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1) (the “Petition”). By Order of the Court issued May 20, 

2016 (Doc. 11), a briefing schedule has been set. Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s 

Motion to Expand or Supplement State Court Record to Include Missing Transcript (28 

U.S.C.§ 2254) (Doc. 13). Petitioner requests that the Court order Respondents to file the 

August 17, 2012 post-conviction relief evidentiary hearing transcript as part of the 

applicable record in this case, along with any admitted exhibits from the hearing. In their 

Response (Doc. 14), Respondents explain in detail their diligent efforts to obtain a copy 

of the missing transcript. Respondents raise no objection to supplementation of the 

record with the August 17, 2012 transcript. Respondents do object to the request that 

they provide copies of documentary exhibits unavailable to Respondents which were 

introduced by Petitioner himself. No Reply has been filed. Respondents’ Submission of

Record to Include Missing Transcript (28 U.S.C. § 2254) (Doc. 13) as it relates to the 

transcript of August 17, 2012. The Motion is denied regarding the request for
