IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIEL J. SWANSON, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-2206 MCE KJM P

vs.

TOM CAREY, Warden, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the filing fee.

Petitioner has filed a notice of related cases, asking the court to relate this case to

Lark v. Carey, Civ. No. S-05-0664 DFL JFM P because of the identity of some of the issues. 

After review of the petition in Lark and the instant petition, the court finds that relation is not

required under L.R. 83-123. Although the legal issues are similar, the factual underpinnings of

the two different parole determinations at issue in the two cases are different. See L.R. 83-123

(a)(3). 

Because petitioner may be entitled to the requested relief if the claimed violation

of constitutional rights is proved, respondents will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s

application.
