IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FREDERICK PANKO,

Petitioner, No.2: 05-cv-2610 ALA HC

vs.

TERESA SCHWARTZ, Warden, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner with counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenges a 2003 decision finding him unsuitable for parole. 

On March 13, 2006, Respondent filed its first amended motion to dismiss. On May 3,

2006, Respondent’s first amended motion to dismiss was “denied without prejudice to renewal

after the appellate court’s decision” in Sass v. California Board of Prison Terms, 376 F. Supp. 2d

975 (E.D. Cal. 2005). Subsequently, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its decision in

the Sass matter. See Sass v. Cal. Bd. of Prison Terms, 461 F.3d 1123 (9th Cir. 2006). 

Respondent is directed to file a response to Petitioner’s habeas petition.
