On June 28, 2006, the Court issued an order granting Robert Lee Griffin’s Petition for Writ

of Habeas Corpus and ordered Griffin released from the Pelican Bay State Prison Security Housing

Unit (SHU) immediately. (See Docket Item No. 120.) On July 5, 2006, Respondents notified the

Court that Griffin had been transferred to a federal court house and was no longer in their custody. 

(See Docket Item No. 121.) On August 21, 2006, the Court ordered Respondents to clarify Griffin’s

housing status. (See Docket Item No. 124.) Respondents filed a notice stating that they intended to

place Griffin in the SHU temporarily following his return from federal custody. (See Docket Item

No. 125.)

Presently before the Court is Petitioner’s Request for Modification of Order Granting Writ of

Habeas Corpus in light of Respondents notice to the Court regarding Griffin’s status. (See Docket

Item No. 126.) To ensure compliance with the Writ, Respondents are ordered to file a Status Report

detailing Griffin’s housing status from June 28, 2006 to the present. Respondents shall file their
