UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMA L. WILLIAMS,

Petitioner,

v.

D. ADAMS,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 04-5203 DLB HC

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY

SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSED

FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH COURT

ORDER

[Doc. 17]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1), the parties have consented to

the jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge. 

On July 8, 2005, the Court directed that within forty-five days from the date of service,

Respondent submit a supplemental answer to the amended petition, as the initial answer

addressed the original petition. Over forty-five days has passed and Respondent has not

submitted a supplemental answer. 

Local Rule 11-110 provides that “a failure of counsel or of a party to comply with these

Local Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for the imposition by the Court of any

and all sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court.@
