IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID BUCKLEY FENNEN,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-1776 GEB GGH P

vs.

A.P. KANE, Warden, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

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

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

challenges his 2003 conviction for possession of a controlled substance in violation of Cal.

Health and Safety Code § 11378.

The petition raises one claim only: a violation of Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S.

296, 124 S.Ct. 2531 (2004). Blakely does not apply retroactively to a conviction that was final

before that decision was announced. Schardt v. Payne, 414 F.3d 1025 (9th Cir. 2005). According

to the petition, the California Supreme Court denied petitioner’s petition for review in 2004. In

order to determine whether Blakely is applicable to petitioner’s conviction, the court must know

the date on which the California Supreme Court denied petitioner’s petition for review.
