IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAROLD JAMES LEE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-2679 RRB DAD P

vs.

SUPERIOR COURT OF

SISKIYOU COUNTY, et al., 

 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

In accordance with this court’s May 21, 2007 order, petitioner, a state prisoner

proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed an amended petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In his amended petition, petitioner names A. Hedgpeth,

Warden of Kern Valley State Prison, as the respondent in this action. Warden Hedgpeth is the

proper respondent. Accordingly, the case will proceed on petitioner’s amended petition, and the

Clerk of the Court will be directed to amend the docket to reflect Warden Hedgpeth as the

respondent.

Since petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed violation of constitutional

rights is proved, respondent will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s amended habeas

petition.
