Plaintiff,

BOARD OF PRISON TERMS, et al.,

Defendant.

 /

No. C 05-01537 SI

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S

MOTION TO STRIKE AND SETTING

BRIEFING SCHEDULE RE:

RESPONDENTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS

Petitioner Joseph P. Gutierrez filed a pro se action seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254. This Court ordered respondents to answer by July 22, 2005, and show cause why the writ

should not be granted. OnJuly 21, 2005, respondents filed a motion to dismiss on the ground that this Court

lacks jurisdiction because petitioner’s challenge of a parole denial does not implicate a federal constitutional

interest, and thus is not appropriate for federal review.

Petitioner, no longer acting pro se, has moved to strike the motion on the ground that it is procedurally

improper and not authorized by the Court’s Order to Show Cause. Petitioner does not address the merits of

the motion to dismiss.

The Court hereby DENIES petitioner’s motion to strike and GRANTS petitioner’s alternative request

to set a briefing schedule on the motion to dismiss. 

Petitioner’s oppositionto respondents’motiontodismissshallbe filedand servedby October

5, 2005. Respondents’ reply must be filed and served by October 19, 2005.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 19, 2005
