IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD R. BREDFIELD, No. 2:12-CV-1478-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

UNKNOWN,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On October 2, 2012, the court dismissed

petitioner’s petition and directed petitioner to file an amended petition within 30 days naming the

correct respondent. Petitioner was warned that failure to file an amended petition may result in

dismissal of this action for lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court rules and orders. 

See Local Rule 110. To date, petitioner has not complied. Specifically, while petitioner has filed

three separate amended petitions since the court’s original order, none names the correct

respondent. Petitioner names as respondent to the first amended petition “Siskiyou County

Superior Court Hon. Laura Masunaga Judge.” In the second amended petition, petitioner names

Petitioner shall show cause in writing, within 30 days of the date of this order,

dismissal of the action for the reasons outlined above, as well as for failure to prosecute and

comply with court rules and orders. See id. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
