vs.

FRANCISCO JACQUEZ, 

Respondent. ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Therein, petitioner challenges his 2006 judgment of

S-09-2550 LKK DAD P. In that previously-filed case, the court ordered petitioner to file an

amended petition naming the proper respondent. It appears that the petition filed in this case,

for petitioner’s failure to file an amended petition naming the proper respondent. As soon as the

the court will vacate the findings and recommendations and allow that case to proceed on petitioner’s

amended petition.
