UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RICHARD ORVILLE SCHULTZ, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

BRIAN DUFFY, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:15-cv-796-GEB-EFB P 

ORDER 

This action was opened when Mr. Schultz, a state prisoner without counsel, filed a 340-

page “motion to protect petitioner against tolling until state remedies are exhausted.” ECF No. 1. 

On April 17, 2015, the court notified Mr. Schultz that he had not properly commenced a habeas 

action because he had not filed a petition as required by Rule 3 of the Rules Governing § 2254 

Cases. ECF No. 5. The court granted Mr. Schultz 30 days within which to file a petition. Id. The 

time for acting has passed and Mr. Schultz has not filed a petition or otherwise responded to the 

court’s order. He has, however, requested “assistance from the court,” indicating that he would 

like to file either a civil rights action or an application for a writ of habeas corpus. See ECF Nos. 

6, 8, 10.
