Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this apparent petition for a

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On June 6, 2010, the court directed 1

Petitioner shall show cause in writing, within 30 days of the date of this order,

why this action should not be dismissed for failure to file an amended petition naming the correct

respondent as ordered. Petitioner is again warned that failure to respond to this order may result

in dismissal of the action for the reasons outlined above, as well as for failure to prosecute and

comply with court rules and orders. See id. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
