NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL BLANCHARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

LAURA GARNETTE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01407-JSC 

ORDER RE: OSC AND SERVICE

Petitioner, on probation and therefore in custody in the State of California, filed a habeas 

corpus petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 on March 26, 2015. (Dkt. No. 1.) On April 15, 

2015, the Court issued an Order directing Petitioner to serve respondent and respondent’s attorney 

with a copy of the Order and the petition, and requiring respondent to file within 91 days of the 

Order an answer showing cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted. (Dkt. No. 4.) 

When that deadline had passed, the Court ordered Petitioner to show cause by September 16, 2015 

why his petition should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. (Dkt. No. 7.) In light of the 

Petitioner’s show cause response (Dkt. No. 8), the Court VACATES its Show Cause Order and 

ORDERS the Clerk of Court to serve respondent and the respondent’s attorney, the Attorney 

General of the State of California, with a copy of this Order, Docket No. 4, and the petition with 

all attachments, forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 17, 2015
