UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALFREDO LARA-HERNANDEZ,

Petitioner,

Case No. 11cv1051 BTM(JMA)

ORDER DENYING AS MOOT

MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS; ORDER TO SHOW

CAUSE

v.

KENNETH O. YOUNG,

Respondent.

Petitioner has filed a “Petition for Writ of Mandamus,” asking the Court to compel

Kenneth O. Young, Chief Probation Officer for the Southern District of California to dismiss

pending charges against him for violation of supervised release and revocation of supervised

release. Petitioner has also filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis in this matter.

However, Petitioner’s Petition is akin to a § 2255 motion for which there is no filing fee.

Therefore, the Court finds that the $350 filing fee does not apply, denies as moot Petitioner’s

motion to proceed in forma pauperis, and orders that Petitioner’s Petition be filed without a

filing fee.

The Government has submitted a response to the Petition in which the Government

explains that the supervised release proceedings challenged by Petitioner are actually

pending in the Central District of California before Hon. A. Howard Matz (United States v.

Jose Lara-Hernandez, 07cr1207 AHM-1). In light of this information, the Court orders

Petitioner to show cause why his Petition for Writ of Mandamus should not be DISMISSED

because it has been filed in the wrong district and names the wrong respondent. The parties

may file a written response to this OSC on or before June 6, 2011. The Government shall

serve Petitioner with a copy of its May 3, 2011 response to the Petition for Writ of Mandamus

forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
