IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARRY JOE VANG,

Petitioner, No. CIV-F-03-5528 ALA HC

vs.

D.L. RUNNELS, Warden, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Respondent is hereby ordered to provide this Court with a copy of the trial proceedings

before the Superior Court of Fresno County regarding the insufficiency of the evidence claim

that was remanded by the California Court of Appeal in its decision dated March 2, 2001. See

People v. Vang, 104 Cal. Rptr. 2d 704, 711 (Ct. App. 2001). The California Court of Appeal

vacated the order denying the motion for new trial and “order[ed] a limited remand for a new

hearing on defendant’s motions for new trial on the question of the sufficiency of the evidence . .

.” so that the trial court can conduct its own independent review of the record based on the 13th

juror standard. Id.; see also Answer, Ex. C at 48-49. 

/////

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Respondent is directed to provide a copy of the requested Superior Court proceedings

addressing the insufficiency of the evidence claim that the California Court of Appeal remanded
