IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HAROLD H. HAWKS,

Petitioner,

 v.

JAMES HAMLET,

Respondent.

 /

No. C 04-01822 JSW

ORDER RE RESPONDENT’S

REQUEST FOR LEAVE TO FILE

SUPPLEMENTAL ANSWER

The Court has received Respondent’s request for leave to file a supplemental answer, in

which he wishes to supplement his answer to assert that Petitioner does not have a federally

protected liberty interest in parole, relying on In re Dannenberg, 34 Cal. 4th 1061 (2005) and

Sass v. California Board of Prison Terms, 376 F. Supp. 2d 975 (E.D. Cal. 2005).

Because Respondent’s request raises only a legal issue, the Court finds good cause to

GRANT the request. However, Petitioner is also GRANTED leave to supplement his traverse

to address the arguments raised in Respondent’s supplemental answer. Petitioner’s response

shall be limited to ten (10) pages, and shall be due on September 23, 2005.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 24, 2005
