UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VICTORIANO LEMOS MEJIA,

Petitioner,

v.

SYLVIA GARCIA, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 03-5489 REC DLB HC

ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO

SUBMIT SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING AS TO

CLAIM FOUR RAISED IN THE PETITION

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

The instant petition for writ of habeas corpus is ready for review on the merits. In Claim

Four of the Petition, Petitioner contends that the trial court erred in instructing the jury with the

prior version of CALJIC 2.50.01. 

After Respondent submitted its answer in this case, the Ninth Circuit issued its opinion in

Gibson v. Ortiz, 387 F.3d 812 (9th Cir. 2004), which appears to deal with the same claim raised

in the instant petition. Therefore, by this order, the Court will direct Respondent to submit

supplemental briefing addressing the application, if any, of the Gibson opinion.
