UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JESSICA HOLMES,

Petitioner,

v.

DEBORAH K. JOHNSON, Warden,

Respondent.

No. 2:11-cv-2710 JKS

ORDER

Petitioner is proceeding through counsel with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant 

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. By order dated December 5, 2013, this matter was reassigned to Senior 

District Judge James K. Singleton for all further proceedings. On March 7, 2014, Judge Singleton 

issued an order denying petitioner’s habeas petition in its entirety and judgment was entered 

accordingly. Petitioner filed a timely appeal, claiming that her statements to police were obtained 

in violation of Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 476 (1966), and that she was entitled to an 

evidentiary hearing on her claim that she received ineffective assistance of counsel in the course 

of plea negotiations in the underlying criminal proceeding. 

On July 17, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the 

judgment with respect to petitioner’s Miranda claim but reversed and remanded to the district 

court to conduct an evidentiary hearing regarding petitioner’s claim that she received ineffective 

assistance of counsel in the course of plea negotiations. By order dated July 27, 2015, this matter
