IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH A. SHERMAN, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-0911 MCE KJM P

vs.

YOLO COUNTY SHERIFF, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an amended application for

a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the filing fee. On

January 19, 2007 the court recommended that this action be dismissed for petitioner’s failure to

file an amended application. Petitioner has now filed an amended application. Therefore, the

court will vacate the January 19, 2007 findings and recommendations. Since petitioner may be

entitled to the requested relief if the claimed violation of constitutional rights is proved,

respondents will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s amended application.

Petitioner has filed a motion asking that the court expedite this matter. However,

petitioner has not shown cause why this court should consider petitioner’s habeas application

ahead of applications filed before petitioner’s. His request will be denied.
