UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PERCY JAMES PEARCE,

Petitioner,

 vs.

UNITED STATES PAROLE

COMMISSION, BENJAMIN J.

BLANKENSHIP, United States

Probation Officer; AMANDA K. RUIZ,

Attorney at Law; and PAUL A. RENOIS,

United States Probation Officer,

Respondent. /

No. C 06-7908 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

The petition in this case was dismissed with leave to amend because petitioner did

not say when the probation proceeding he appeared to be trying to attack occurred, nor

where, nor did he provide any clear explanation of the legal basis for his claims. The court

also noted that a petition such as this would not be a proper means of attacking the

underlying conviction, see United States v. Lustig, 555 F.2d 751, 753 (9th Cir. 1977), and

that because it appeared that petitioner might have been released after completing the

revocation period, the petition might be moot. 

In light of these difficulties it is unsurprising that petitioner has not amended. This

case is DISMISSED. The clerk shall close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 10, 2008.
