ORDER CORRECTING

ERRONEOUS FILING; CLOSING

CASE; INSTRUCTIONS TO

CLERK

Petitioner, a state prisoner, proceeding pro se, filed a writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 on May 22, 2007. Petitioner enclosed a letter to the Court

with the instant petition, stating that he enclosed a copy of his petition that he filed in the

California Supreme Court on April 27, 2007. The Court notes that Petitioner has an

earlier filed habeas action which is stayed pending exhaustion of his additional claim in

the state supreme court, case no C 05-3064 JF (PR). It appears that the instant petition

was mistakenly received and opened as a new case in the instant action, rather than in

Petitioner’s earlier habeas action in case no. C 05-3064 JF (PR).

Accordingly, the Clerk is instructed to copy all documents from the instant case and

transfer the documents to Petitioner’s earlier filed habeas action in case number C 05-

3064 JF (PR). Because the instant case was opened erroneously, the Court will dismiss

the instant habeas action without prejudice. The Clerk shall close the file and terminate

any pending motions. No filing fee is due. 

It is Petitioner’s responsibility to prosecute this case. Petitioner is reminded that

all communications with the Court must be served on Respondent by mailing a true copy

of the document to Respondent’s counsel. Petitioner must keep the Court and all parties

informed of any change of address by filing a separate paper captioned “Notice of Change

of Address.” He must comply with the Court’s orders in a timely fashion. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
