IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD L. ALLEY,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-1660 FCD DAD P

vs.

TOM L. CAREY, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has submitted a document that

appears to be a state petition for writ of habeas corpus filed, or intended for filing, in the

California Supreme Court. Petitioner has not paid the required filing fee or filed an application

to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a) & 1915(a).

Petitioner’s August 18, 2005 filing consists of a state form, inserted attachments,

and hundreds of pages of exhibits. The petition is captioned for filing in the “Supreme Court for

the State of California” and is dated June 18, 2005. Petitioner states that “this appeal is being

made to the highest State Supreme Court.” (Pet., form page five) He alleges that he is bypassing

the superior court and appellate court, filing his petition “directly with the highest State Supreme

Court,” and requesting “that this matter is advanced on the docket sheet and expidited [sic] in

order to litigate this matter in the Federal District Court.” (Pet., inserted page 15.)

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner shall file, within fifteen days from the

date of this order, a declaration in which he shows good cause for filing a state habeas petition in

federal court. The declaration may not exceed two pages in length. Petitioner’s failure to file a

satisfactory declaration will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without

prejudice as premature.
