IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KIET ANH TRAN,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-04-1840 MCE DAD P

vs.

W.J. SULLIVAN, Warden, et al.,

 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

On April 27, 2005, petitioner filed a reply to respondents’ answer. It does not

appear that petitioner served the reply on respondents. Petitioner will be required to file a proof

of service reflecting the date on which he mailed a copy of his reply to respondents’ counsel.

Respondents request that the court take judicial notice of state court transcripts

lodged in the habeas proceedings of petitioner’s codefendant, Nhat Nguyen. The docket for

Nguyen v. Kane, case No. CIV S-04-1829 GEB JFM P, reveals that the case was filed one day

prior to the filing of this case; the respondents in that case filed their answer on December 2,

2004, and the petitioner filed his reply on January 5, 2005. Both cases are now submitted for

decision. It is likely that the state court record will be needed by more than one judge, or more

than one court, simultaneously. For that reason, respondents will be directed to lodge a duplicate

set of the transcripts in this case.
