v.

Respondent.

CV F 07-00366 LJO DLB HC

ORDER STRIKING MOTION FOR

IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY INJUNCTION

[Doc. 21]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Pending before the Court is a motion for an immediate emergency injunction, filed

August 8, 2007. (Court Doc. 21.) The motion is signed by a fellow inmate, B. Thomas

BuenaVista. The motion requests that fellow inmate BuenaVista be granted access to his legal

property in order to prepare and file a traverse in the instant action on behalf of Petitioner, Ray

McKinley Bowen. Petitioner is advised that applications for relief, though prepared by someone

else, must be signed and verified by the inmate seeking relief. Rule 2 of the Rules Governing

Section 2254 Cases; 28 U.S.C. § 2242; Local Rule 81-190. Accordingly, as the instant motion

was not signed by Petitioner, it must be stricken from the record.
