IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN DUNIGAN

Petitioner, No. 2:11-cv-0961 MCE EFB P

vs.

ROBERT HICKMAN

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. On September 24, 2012, petitioner filed a motion for an evidentiary hearing. 

Dckt. No. 62. In his motion, petitioner alleges that prison staff stole numerous documents from

him that “could aid the petitioner in drawing the inference that acts of ‘treason’ are being

perpetrated against the United States Government and its people, by a sitting President (i.e.

Barack Obama) . . . .” Dckt. No. 62 at 1-2. The allegations in petitioner’s motion for an

evidentiary hearing pertain to the conditions of petitioner’s confinement and are unrelated to the

claims asserted in his petition. The court therefore denies petitioner’s motion for an evidentiary

hearing, Dckt. No. 62, without prejudice.
