ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

MOTION TO AMEND PETITION AND

DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

CHANGE NAME OF RESPONDENT

[Doc. 6]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Petitioner filed the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus on June 6, 2006, in the

United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The petition was transferred

to this Court on June 27, 2006, and filed on July 6, 2006. 

On August 15, 2006, the Court issued an order to show cause as to why the petition

should not be dismissed for failure to name a proper respondent. On September 12, 2006,

Petitioner filed a motion to amend the petition to name the proper respondent. (Court Doc. 6.) 

In his motion, Petitioner names M.C. Kramer, the Warden at Folsom State Prison, which

is the proper Respondent for this action. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s motion to amend the petition is GRANTED; and

2. The Clerk of Court is directed to change the name of Respondent from People of

the State of California to M.C. Kramer.
