IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ABE WILLIAMS, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-03-0919 LKK GGH P

vs.

M. L. KNOWLES, et al., 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. This action is proceeding on the third amended petition

filed May 9, 2005. Petitioner challenges his 1999 parole suitability hearing on three grounds: 1)

violation of Cal. Penal Code § 190; 2) violation of Cal. Penal Code § 3041; and 3) imposition of

illegal no-parole policy. Petitioner claims to have raised these claims in case no. S107540 filed

in the California Supreme Court. On June 28, 2005, respondent filed an answer to this petition.

On May 9, 2005, petitioner also filed a motion to file a separate habeas petition in

this action raising the grounds raised in case no. S107538 filed in the California Supreme Court,

which also apparently challenged the 1999 suitability hearing. The court will grant petitioner’s

request. Petitioner will be directed to file a supplemental petition in this action raising the claims

raised in case no. S107538. Respondent will then be directed to file a supplemental answer
