UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL BLANCHARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

LAURA GARNETTE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01407-JSC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Re: Dkt. No. 4

Petitioner, on probation and therefore in custody in the State of California, filed a habeas 

corpus petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On April 15, 2015, the Court issued an Order 

directing Petitioner to serve respondent and respondent’s attorney with a copy of the Order and the 

petition, and requiring respondent to file within 91 days of the Order an answer showing cause 

why a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted. (Dkt. No. 4.) That deadline has long since 

passed. To date, there is no proof of service on the docket. As a result, Defendant has not 

appeared in this action, let alone filed an answer explaining why the writ should not issue. Given 

his apparent failure to serve Defendant, Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED to SHOW CAUSE by 

September 16, 2015, why his petition should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 2, 2015
