IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY JOE OSBORNE,

Petitioner, No. 2:09-cv-03594 KJN P

vs.

MATTHEW CATE, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed an amended

application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Dkt. No. 6), responsive to

this court’s order filed January 7, 2010, which granted petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma

pauperis (Dkt. No. 4). This action was referred to the undersigned on February 9, 2010.1

Because petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed violation of

constitutional rights (denial of good time credits) is proved, respondent will be directed to file a

response to petitioner’s habeas petition.
