IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OMAR KAHLIFE KING, CASE NO. CV-F-04-5641 AWI DLB HC

Petitioner, ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE AND DIRECTING

vs. RESPONDENT TO FILE RESPONSE TO

SECOND AMENDED PETITION

SCOTT KERNAN, Warden, 

Respondent. [Docs. 17]

 /

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

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On June 10, 2005, the Court directed Respondent to file a response to the second amended

petition within sixty days from the date of service of that order. Respondent did not respond to the

Court’s order; therefore, on August 16, 2005, the Court issued an order to show cause why sanctions

should not be imposed for failing to comply with the Court’s order. Although untimely, Respondent

filed a response to the order to show cause on November 7, 2005. 

Respondent’s counsel indicates that his office’s staff did not handle the June 10, 2005 and

August 16, 2005, orders properly and he was therefore unaware of the Court’s orders. Counsel indicates

that the oversight has been discussed with the office’s docketing staff and he is confident that the

situation has been remedied. 

Because Respondent did not intentionally fail to respond to the Court’s June 10, 2005 and August
