IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD ROY MILLER,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-04-2446 DFL KJM P

vs.

A.K. SCRIBNER, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

On April 15, 2005, petitioner submitted a letter. That document was not served

on respondent. Petitioner is advised that every document submitted to the court for consideration

must be served on respondent. Fed. R. Civ. P. 5; Rule 11, Fed. R. Governing § 2254 Cases. 

Documents not to be served electronically are usually served by placing a copy in the U.S. Mail. 

If an attorney has filed a document with the court on behalf of respondent, then documents

submitted by petitioner must be served on that attorney and not on the respondent himself. Every

document submitted conventionally to the court (e.g., by a prisoner proceeding pro se) must

include a certificate stating the date an accurate copy of the document was mailed to respondent

or his attorney and the address to which it was mailed. See Local Rule 5-135(b) and (c).
