ORDER TO SUPPLEMENT

HABEAS RECORD

This is a habeas action under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner pled guilty to seconddegree murder in 1981. He received a sentence of fifteen years to life in prison. In 2003,

the Board of Prison Terms deemed petitioner suitable for parole, but that decision was

reversed by the governor. Among other things, petitioner asserts that the governor violated

due process by mischaracterizing the commitment offense, relying on old precommitment

factors, and reversing the Board’s decision without evidence of current dangerousness. 

In reversing the Board of Prison Term's decision, the governor relied on the

probation officer's report. That report was not included in the record provided to this court. 

In order to properly analyze petitioner's claims, this court must have before it the same

record that the governor reviewed. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the Attorney General

provide a complete copy of the materials that were before the governor, including the

probation report, within twenty-one days from the date this order is entered.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 25, 2008.
