UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RANDALL R. POWELL, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

W.L. MONTGOMERY, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:16-cv-0548-MCE-EFB P 

ORDER 

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On May 4, 2016, respondent moved to dismiss on the ground that 

the petition is barred by the statute of limitations. ECF No. 22. After petitioner failed to file an 

opposition or a statement of no opposition to the motion, the court recommended dismissal of this 

action for failure to prosecute. ECF No. 25. Petitioner then filed a response to the findings and 

recommendations, stating that after submitting his petition, he “never received a response . . . .” 

ECF No. 26. In an abundance of caution, therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. The July 12, 2016 findings and recommendations (ECF No. 25) are vacated. 

2. Within 7 days from the date of this order, respondent shall re-serve the motion to 

dismiss on petitioner and file a proof of service with the court.
