ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE REGARDING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS—C-04-03081 RMW

WH/JH

E-FILED on 11/10/05

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

JEFFEREY FIGUEROA,

Petitioner,

v.

CALIFORNIA SUPERIOR COURT OF

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY JUVENILE

DIVISION,

Respondent.

No. C-04-03081 RMW

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE REGARDING

PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

[Re Docket No. 1]

Petitioner files a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner 

alleges that he is in the unlawful custody of the Juvenile Probation Division of the California Superior Court

in Contra Costa County. 

The record before this court is incomplete, though it appears from the record that the federal court

petition may be procedurally defective. The petitioner was declared to be a ward of the Juvenile Probation

Division in mid-2002. His appeal of that decision was rejected by the California Court of Appeal on May

29, 2003, and the California Supreme Court declined to review the case on August 20, 2004. The

California Supreme Court issued a one-sentence order denying petitioner a writ of habeas corpus on June

22, 2005.
