IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LESLIE G. STONE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-1712 DFL CMK P

vs.

K. PROSPER,

Respondents.

 / ORDER

By order and findings and recommendations filed August 17, 2006, the court

granted petitioner’s request to proceed in forma pauperis and recommended that petitioner’s

application for a writ of habeas corpus be dismissed for failure to exhaust state remedies. On

September 20, 2006, the petitioner filed objections, which stated that petitioner had exhausted

his habeas application in state court. Petitioner attached the California Supreme Court decision

denying his petition. Petitioner also filed an amended habeas petition naming the correct

respondent. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed August 17, 2006 are vacated; 

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to file petitioner’s amended petition;

3. Respondents are directed to file an answer to the amended petition within

forty-five days from the date of this order. See Rule 4, Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases.
