UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KENNETH KHANISHU, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

WARDEN SPEARMAN, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:14-cv-0579 TLN AC P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner’s initial filing in this case was dismissed with leave to amend for, inter alia, 

petitioner’s failure to identify the nature of the conviction he was challenging or the length of his 

sentence. See Order at ECF No. 7. Petitioner filed an amended petition on April 3, 2014. ECF 

No. 10. Examination of the amended petition and the court’s records reveals that the petitioner 

has previously filed a petition for relief in the same matter: Case No. 2:10-cv-2171 CMK P. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 190(d), the above-captioned action is to be reassigned to the Judge and 

Magistrate Judge who considered the prior petition.1

 The parties should be aware that reassigning this action under Local Rule 190(d) merely 

has the result that the action is assigned to the Magistrate Judge who considered the prior petition; 

no consolidation of the actions is effected. 

 

1

 In the prior petition, there was no District Judge assignment as the parties therein consented to 

the jurisdiction of the Magistrate Judge.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

proceedings; henceforth, the caption on documents filed in this action shall be shown as No. 2:14-

cv-0579 CMK P; and 

 2. The Clerk of the Court shall make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil 

cases to compensate for this reassignment.
