UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICKY TYRONE FOSTER,

Petitioner,

v.

ROSIE B. GARCIA, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 99-5748 OWW DLB HC

ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO

SUBMIT COPY OF TRANSCRIPTS FROM

MARSDEN HEARING 

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

This case is currently ready for review on the merits. In Ground Four of the Petition,

Petitioner contends that the trial court failed to make an adequate inquiry at his hearing on

December 19, 1993. In her answer to the petition, Respondent argues that the pleadings establish

that Petitioner has failed to met his burden of establishing a constitutional violation, and submits

that transcript from the Marsden hearing is filed in the state Court of Appeal under seal, and if

requested by this Court will be obtained and submitted for review. (Answer, at 28.) The Court

finds that the copy of the transcript is necessary for review in resolving Petitioner’s claim. 

Accordingly, within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, Respondent shall

submit a copy of the transcript of the Marsden hearing on December 19, 1993. Due to the

confidential nature of the transcripts, the Court authorizes Respondent to submit the transcripts

under seal pursuant to Local Rule 39-141.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
