1:09-cv-02248-JLT HC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY

SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSED

FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH A

COURT ORDER

TWENTY DAY DEADLINE

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

On March 18, 2010, this Court issued an Order to Show Cause why the petition should not be

granted. (Doc. 4). That Order to Show Cause required Respondent to file a response within fortyfive days of the order’s date of service pursuant to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254

Cases. The response was due by May 5, 2010. Fifty-eight days have elapsed since that time;

however, no response has yet been filed by Respondent. A review of the Court’s electronic

docketing system indicates that Respondent’s counsel, the United States Attorney’s Office, was

served with the Order to Show Cause at the appropriate address.

Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Rules or

with any order of the Court may be grounds for the imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions

authorized by state or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court.@
