ORDER REGARDING PETITIONER’S

APPLICATION FOR RELEASE ON BAIL 

PENDING DETERMINATION OF PETITION

[Doc. #17]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The parties having voluntarily consented to exercise of Magistrate

Judge jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1), by order dated May 2, 2004, this case was

assigned to the undersigned for all purposes, including entry of final judgment.

On August 25, 2005, Petitioner filed an application for release on bail pending a

determination of the merits of his habeas petition.

DISCUSSION

Federal courts reserve bail pending resolution of a habeas corpus petition to "extraordinary

cases involving special circumstances" and where there is a high probability of the petitioner's

success on the merits. United States v. Mett, 41 F.3d 1281, 1282 (9th Cir.1994), quoting,Land v.

Deeds, 878 F.2d 318, 318-319 (9th Cir.1989). Further, the petitioner must show circumstances that

make him exceptional and especially deserving of special treatment in the interests of justice. 

Benson v. California, 328 F.2d 159, 162 (9th Cir.1964). The Court must also consider the

petitioner’s risk of flight and the danger to the community should the petitioner be released. Marino

v. Vasquez, 812 F.2d 499, 508-09 (9th Cir.1987). None of these requirements has been met in the

case before the Court. 

ORDER

Accordingly, the Court hereby DENIES Petitioner’s application for release on bail pending

the outcome of this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
