UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOAQUIN MURRIETTA 

MARTINEZ,

Petitioner,

v.

DR. JEFFREY BEARD,

Respondent.

Case No.: 13cv1457 BTM(WVG)

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

ENTRY OF DEFAULT AND 

ISSUANCE OF WRIT

Petitioner has filed a motion for entry of default and issuance of a writ of 

habeas corpus. However, the failure of a respondent to file a timely response to 

claims raised in a petition for habeas corpus does not entitle the petitioner to a 

default judgment and does not relieve the petitioner of his burden to show that he 

is in custody in violation of the Constitution of the United States. Gordon v. 

Duran, 895 F.2d 610, 612 (9th Cir. 1990); Shue v. Sisto, 2008 WL 427469 (E.D. 

Cal. Feb. 14, 2008). Therefore, Petitioner’s motion is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 3, 2015
