IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NICO L. VASQUEZ, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-02-1925 DFL KJM P

vs.

JOE MCGRATH, 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

in camera hearings under seal. On July 6, 2005, counsel for respondent filed a request for an

extension of time and a notice of the filing or lodging of a document in paper. There is no record,

however, that counsel did more than file his notice of lodging; the document described on the face

potential problem of his complying with state law concerning sealed records and this court’s

order. Counsel can and should avoid any discomfort by making clear to the state Court of Appeal

Appeal within five days of the date of this order.
