IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RALPH EDWARD KING, No. CIV S-07-0830-FCD-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

ROBERT HORELL,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with appointed counsel, brings this petition

for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On November 29, 2007, the court

granted petitioner’s request for additional time in which to make the decision whether to stand on

the existing petition or file an amended petition. Petitioner was ordered to make his election on

or before January 7, 2008. To date, plaintiff has not filed an amended petition or notified the

court that he intends to stand on the existing petition. 

Petitioner will be required to show cause and is warned that failure to respond to

this order may result in dismissal of the action. See Local Rule 11-110. The filing of an

amended petition or notification that petitioner intends to stand on the existing petition, within

the time provided herein, will constitute an adequate response to this order to show cause.
