EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VESTER L. PATTERSON,

Petitioner,

v.

JOEL MARTINEZ,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:16-cv-01215-LJO-HC

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S 

MOTION TO EXPEDITE PROCEEDINGS

(ECF No. 17)

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a habeas corpus action pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 2254.

On October 21, 2016, Petitioner filed a motion to expedite proceedings in the instant 

case. (ECF No. 17). However, the Court does not have an expedited calendar. Petitioner is 

advised that the Court acts to resolve all pending cases in the most efficient manner possible. The 

Court is aware of Petitioner’s pending petition. Nevertheless, the Court’s docket of pending 

cases is substantial, and the Court must act first on those matters that have been pending the 

longest.
