IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD GONZALES,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-2186 GEB DAD P

vs.

D.K. SISTO, Warden, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and has paid the required filing fee. Pursuant to the court’s

order filed December 6, 2006, petitioner has filed an amended petition.

In 1988, petitioner was convicted of second degree murder in Orange County

Superior Court. In this action, petitioner is challenging the parole board’s decision finding him

unsuitable for parole after a hearing conducted on January 24, 2006. Since petitioner may be

entitled to relief if the claimed violations of constitutional rights are proved, respondents will be

directed to file a response to petitioner’s habeas petition.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Respondents are directed to file and serve a response to petitioner’s amended

petition within thirty days from the date of this order. See Rule 4, Fed. R. Governing § 2254
