IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TYRONE DANIEL JOHNSON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-02-1671 GEB JFM P

vs.

PEOPLE OF STATE OF

CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

On October 27, 2005, petitioner filed letters (Docket Nos. 58-60). These

documents were not served on respondents. Petitioner is advised that every document submitted

to the court for consideration must be served on respondents. Fed. R. Civ. P. 5; Rule 11, 28

U.S.C. § 2254. As a prisoner proceeding pro se, petitioner is required to serve all documents in

this action conventionally in accordance with the relevant provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 5. See

Local Rule 5-135(b). Since an attorney has filed a document with the court on behalf of

respondents, documents submitted by petitioner must be served on that attorney and not on the

respondents. Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(1). Conventional service is usually accomplished by mailing a

copy of the document to the attorney’s address of record. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(2)(B). 

Petitioner must include with every document filed in this action a certificate stating the date an

accurate copy of the document was mailed to respondents’ attorney and the address to which it

was mailed. See Local Rule 5-135(b) and (c).

Moreover, petitioner is advised that his case is under submission. So long as he

keeps the court apprised of his current address, he will be notified once a decision is rendered in

his case. Habeas proceedings are limited to the petition, the answer and the traverse, absent leave

of court. Petitioner has not been granted leave of court to file additional documents.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s October 27, 2005

letters (Docket Nos. 58-60) are denied without prejudice. Petitioner is cautioned that failure to

properly serve any documents subsequently filed in this action, and failure to include a proper

certificate of service with such filing, may result in a recommendation that this action be

dismissed.

DATED: November 28, 2005.
