UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MICHAEL JAY CARUTHERS, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

PLEASANT VALLEY STATE PRISON, 

Respondent. 

 No. 2:15-cv-797-EFB P 

ORDER 

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, seeks a writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. This case is before the undersigned pursuant to consent of the 

parties. See 28 U.S.C. § 636; ECF Nos. 4, 10. 

 On July 9, 2015, respondent filed a motion to dismiss on the ground that the petition 

contains unexhausted claims. On August 25, 2015, the court informed petitioner of the 

requirements for filing an opposition to any motion to dismiss. That order gave petitioner 21 days 

to file an opposition or statement of non-opposition and warned him that failure to do so may 

result in this action being dismissed. 

 The 21 days have passed and petitioner has not filed an opposition or a statement of no 

opposition nor otherwise responded to the August 25, 2015 order.
