IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL CLARK,

Petitioner, No. CIV-S-02-0709 LKK KJM HC 

vs.

EDWARD S. ALAMEIDA, JR., 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with an application for writ of

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenges the execution of his sentence. 

The court has reviewed the file in this matter and it appears that petitioner has not

exhausted state court remedies with respect to any federal claim regarding the execution of his

sentence. See Answer, Exhibit L. Petitioner may not obtain relief with respect to any claim

unless, with respect to that claim, state court remedies have been exhausted. 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2254(b)(1). 

Respondent does not assert failure to exhaust state court remedies as a defense in

respondent’s answer. However, the defense is not waived unless respondent expressly waives. 

28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(3).
