IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CUSTIS LYNN COLLIER,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0761 LKK DAD P

vs.

JAMES TILTON, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Pursuant to this court’s June 27, 2007 order, petitioner has filed a first amended

petition for writ of habeas corpus. Therein, petitioner claims that the evidence introduced at his

state court criminal trial was legally insufficient to establish that he possessed methamphetamine

for sale, possessed ephedrine, and maintained a place to manufacture methamphetamine.

Since petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed violation of constitutional

rights is proved, respondents will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s amended habeas

petition.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Respondents are directed to file a response to petitioner’s July 6, 2007 first

amended petition for writ of habeas corpus within thirty days from the date of this order. See

Rule 4, Fed. R. Governing § 2254 Cases. An answer shall be accompanied by all transcripts and
