UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

STEVEN ALLAN RISTAU,

Petitioner,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, 

Respondent. /

No. C 09-4216 RS (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This is a federal habeas corpus action filed by a pro se former state prisoner pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The original petition was dismissed with leave to amend, and with

instructions to reallege his claims without incorporating the allegations in the original

petition by reference. Petitioner has filed an amended petition, but has failed to allege any 

claims. Accordingly, the action is DISMISSED without prejudice to petitioner filing an

amended petition that contains all the claims he wishes to present. If petitioner files an

amended petition, petitioner must fully reallege any claims he chooses to bring, and he may

not incorporate his original petition, or any part thereof, by reference. Petitioner’s request for

an order vacating his conviction (Docket No. 6) is DENIED without prejudice. 

The Clerk shall enter judgment in favor of respondent and close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
