UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER TOWNES,

Petitioner,

v.

BOP, et al.,

Respondents.

No. 2:15-cv-0731 CKD P

ORDER

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner has paid the filing fee. Both parties have 

consented to have all matters in this action before a United States Magistrate Judge. See 28 

U.S.C. § 636(c).

Since petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed violation of constitutional rights is 

proved, respondent will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s habeas petition.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Respondent is directed to file a response to petitioner’s habeas petition within thirty

days from the date of this order. 

2. If the response to the habeas petition is an answer, petitioner’s reply, if any, shall be 

filed and served within thirty days after service of the answer.
