United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FREDERICK STIVENDER,

Petitioner,

 v.

ANTHONY KANE, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

No. C-06-7195 MMC

ORDER DIRECTING SERVICE;

EXTENDING DEADLINES

On January 26, 2007, the Court issued an order to show cause why the instant

habeas petition should not be granted, and ordered respondent to file an answer within 60

days. Said order did not expressly direct the Clerk to serve the respondent, however, and,

consequently, the Clerk has not served the petition and order to show cause on

respondent.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court shall serve by certified mail a copy of this order, the

Court’s January 26, 2007 order, and the petition, along with all attachments thereto, upon

respondent and respondent's attorney, the Attorney General for the State of California. 

2. The deadlines set forth in the Court’s January 26, 2007 order are hereby

EXTENDED, as follows:

a. Respondent shall file with the Court and serve on petitioner, within 60 days

of the date this order is filed, an answer conforming in all respects to Rule 5 of the Rules

Governing Section 2254 Cases, showing cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not be

granted based on petitioner’s cognizable claim. Respondent shall file with the answer and

serve on petitioner a copy of all portions of the state trial record that have been transcribed

previously that are relevant to a determination of the issues presented by the petition and

that have not previously been filed with the Court. 

If petitioner wishes to respond to the answer, he shall do so by filing a traverse with

the Court and serving it on respondent within 30 days of the filing of the answer.

b. In lieu of an answer, respondent may file, within 60 days of the date this

order is filed, a motion to dismiss on procedural grounds, as set forth in the Advisory

Committee Notes to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. If respondent files

such a motion, petitioner shall file with the Court and serve on respondent an opposition or

statement of non-opposition within 30 days of the filing of the motion, and respondent shall

file with the Court and serve on petitioner a reply within 15 days of the filing of any

opposition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
