IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NATHANIEL WILLIAMS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-0347 MCE DAD P

vs.

CLAUDE E. FINN, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the required filing fee.

In the Los Angeles County Superior Court in 1981, petitioner entered a plea of

guilty to one count of first degree murder. In this action, petitioner is challenging the denial of

parole by the Board of Parole Hearings after a hearing conducted on May 4, 2005. Since

petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed violations of constitutional rights are proved,

respondents will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s habeas petition.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Respondents are directed to file and serve a response to petitioner’s habeas

petition within thirty days from the date of this order. See Rule 4, Fed. R. Governing § 2254
