FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HUNG VIET VU,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0495 MCE GGH P

vs.

RICHARD KIRKLAND, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

By order filed January 7, 2010, the Court of Appeals vacated this court’s dismissal

of petitioner’s amended petition for writ of habeas corpus, and remanded this action for further

consideration. The Court of Appeals directs this court to exercise its informed discretion

whether to accept the amended petition nunc pro tunc to a timely date due to the “clear error” of 1

the magistrate judge in not immediately ordering dismissal of the petition with leave to amend. 

Accordingly, petitioner is hereby directed to file, within fourteen days of the filing

date of this order, a memorandum addressing how the court should exercise its discretion, and

the reasons which favor such a course of action. There shall be no extensions of time
