IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS JOSEPH DUNPHY JR.,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-04-2623 DFL KJM P

vs.

DAVID L. RUNNELS,

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. On March 9, 2006, the court recommended that this

action be dismissed due to petitioner’s failure to file an opposition or a statement of nonopposition to respondent’s July 18, 2005 motion to dismiss. Petitioner has filed objections to the

March 9, 2006 findings and recommendations in which petitioner indicates that he never

received a copy of respondent’s motion to dismiss or the court’s October 12, 2005 order directing

petitioner to either file an opposition or a statement of non-opposition. In light of petitioner’s

filing, the court will place a temporary hold on the findings and recommendations and provide

petitioner an opportunity to file an opposition to the motion to dismiss.
