NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEPHANIE LEE BRIDGEMAN,

Petitioner,

v.

COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, et al.,

Respondent.

Case No. 20-cv-00649-JD 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a non-prisoner. Petitioner seeks to obtain custody of 

her minor child. In the initial review order on February 28, 2020, the Court found that the petition 

was unexhausted and that there was no federal jurisdiction to litigate a state’s child custody 

determination. Petitioner was still provided an opportunity to amend. Petitioner was provided 

extra time, yet the time to amend has passed and petitioner has not filed an amended petition or 

otherwise communicated with the Court. This case is DISMISSED. Petitioner is again advised to 

follow the appropriate county or state procedures to pursue custody. A certificate of appealability 

is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 24, 2020
