UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RAYMOND D. JACKSON, SR., 

Petitioner, 

v. 

ROBERT FOX, Warden, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:15-cv-0573 GEB AC P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the filing fee. 

 Review of the petition demonstrates that it is incomplete. Referenced exhibits are not 

provided. For example, the petition references a typewritten petition “attached hereto,” that is not 

attached. See ECF No. 1 at 5. The petition also fails to specify the asserted grounds for relief, as 

required by Rule 2(c), Rules Governing § 2254 Cases. The petition states that this action “does 

not concern my criminal conviction.” Id. at 1. While the petition identifies a criminal charge 

referred to the Solano County Superior Court, it states that the charge was “ultimately 

discharged.” Id. at 4. In the absence of cognizable grounds for relief, the petition must be 

dismissed. However, petitioner will be granted leave to file an amended petition for writ of 

habeas corpus.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Petitioner’s original petition for writ of habeas corpus, ECF No. 1, is dismissed with 

leave to amend. 

 2. Within 30 days after the filing date of this order, petitioner shall file an amended 

petition for writ of habeas corpus that conforms to the requirements of Rule 2(c), Rules 

Governing § 2254 Cases. 

 3. The Clerk of Court is directed to send petitioner, together with a copy of this order, the 

following: (a) a form petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254; and (b) a 

copy of petitioner’s endorsed original petition filed March 13, 2015 (ECF No. 1). 

 4. Failure of petitioner to timely file an amended petition for writ of habeas corpus will 

result in a recommendation that his action be dismissed without prejudice.
