IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM A. ROMERO,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-04-0459 MCE CMK P

vs.

D. RUNNELS, Warden, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

On August 2, 2005, petitioner submitted a “reply to opposition to application to

hold habeas petition in abeyance.” 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).
