UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

XAVIER LUMAR J’WEIAL,

Petitioner,

v.

JOE LIZARRAGA, Warden,

Respondent.

CASE NO. 1:16-cv-000044-SKO HC 

ORDER ADDRESSING PETITIONER’S 

REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION

(Doc. 35)

On April 14, 2016, Respondent filed a motion to dismiss the petition in the above-entitled case. 

Doc. 23. Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a reply (traverse) on May 9, 2016. Doc. 26. 

Following an extension of time, Respondent replied to the traverse on June 28, 2016. Doc. 33. 

Petitioner now moves for clarification regarding his filing an additional response. Doc. 35.

Neither the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts nor the 

order setting the briefing schedule in this case (Doc. 5) authorize Petitioner to file an additional brief in 

this case. Petitioner has already responded to the motion to dismiss by filing his reply (traverse). No 

further briefing is authorized. The Court has taken the petition and motion to dismiss under submission 

and will issue its determination in due course.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 22, 2016 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto .
