UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JASON D. SHEPHERD,

Petitioner,

v.

MONTGOMERY,

Respondents.

No. 2:14-cv-1314 JAM KJN P

ORDER

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

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

Petitioner has failed to specify the grounds for relief in his petition, See Rule 2(c), Rules 

Governing § 2254 Cases. Moreover, although petitioner states “refer to appellant’s opening brief 

in Case #C065832/Petition for Review” in the supporting facts section for ground one, petitioner 

did not provide a copy of the petition for review. Rule 2(c) requires that the petition specify all 

the grounds for relief available to the petitioner, state the facts supporting each ground, and state 

the relief requested. Id. Petitioner is granted leave to amend the petition, and shall file his 

amended petition on the form used by this district. Petitioner is cautioned that failure to timely 

comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
