UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On February 9, 2016, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. The Court issued an 

order directing Respondent to file an answer to the petition. Before Respondent filed his answer, on 

April 20, 2016, Petitioner filed a pleading entitled “Petition for Opposel [sic].” There is no such 

pleading in a habeas corpus action. Upon review of the pleading, it appears that Petitioner is merely 

providing further argument concerning the claims he raised in his petition. The Court did not request 

further briefing, nor was Petitioner granted leave to provide further briefing. Accordingly, the 

pleading entitled “Petition for Opposel” is STRICKEN.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 9, 2016 /s/ Jennifer L. Thurston
