WILLIAM PIMENTAL, 

12 vs. 

Petitioner, 

13 WARREN L. MONTGOMERY, Warden, 

14 Res ondent. 

CASE NO. 16cv2212-LAB (DHB) 

ORDER VACATING JUDGMENT 

15 William Pimental's objections to Judge Porter's Report and Recommendation were 

16 due February 16, 2018. They were docketed on March 2. But Pimental turned them over to 

17 prison staff on February 15. "Under the 'mailbox rule,' a pro se prisoner's filing of a state 

18 habeas petition is deemed filed at the moment the prisoner delivers it to prison authorities 

19 for forwarding to the clerk of the court." Stillman v. LaMarque, 319 F.3d 1199, 1201 (9th Cir. 

20 2003). Pimental filed his objections on time. Accordingly, the Court vacates the judgment 

21 [Dkt. 26] and the order adopting the R&R [Dkt. 25], and will issue a new order after carefully 

22 reviewing Pimental's objections.
