 /

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

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

“A petitioner for habeas corpus relief must name the state officer having custody

of him or her as the respondent to the petition.” Stanley v. California Supreme Court, 21 F.3d

359, 360 (9th Cir. 1994) (citing Rule 2(a), 28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254). In this action, petitioner has

not named the proper respondent. Petitioner has not named the warden who has custody of him

as the respondent in the case. Accordingly, petitioner’s application for a writ of habeas corpus

must be dismissed with leave to amend. See Stanley, 21 F.3d at 360. 

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner's application for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed with leave to file

an amended petition within thirty days from the date of this order;
