IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RON MICHAEL WERTH,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-2514 MCE DAD P

vs.

JAMES YATES, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

This matter came before the court on July 18, 2008, for petitioner’s motion for an

evidentiary hearing. Charles Bonneau appeared on behalf of petitioner Ron Michael Werth, and

Carlos Martinez appeared on behalf of respondent Yates. 

Upon consideration of the parties’ pleadings and oral arguments during the

hearing, the court will deny the motion for an evidentiary hearing. However, the court will order

that the record be expanded to include all evidentiary materials submitted as of this date in the

habeas petition, answer, traverse, and other records lodged with the court. This order is intended

to include petitioner’s declaration setting forth the testimony he asserts would have been

presented had he been called as a witness at his trial as well as the declaration of Billy

Wolfington.
