IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PATRICK SHAUN LOVEDAY,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-0105 GEB DAD P

vs.

M. YARBOROUGH, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

This action is proceeding with petitioner’s amended petition filed on July 9, 2007. 

On August 6, 2007, the court ordered respondent to file his response to the amended petition. On

August 27, 2007, the court granted respondent’s request for an extension of time. The response

is now due on October 3, 2007. Before the court is respondent’s request for a copy of the sealed

reporter’s transcript of petitioner’s Marsden hearing. Respondent explains that in the first claim

of his amended petition petitioner alleges that the trial court abused its discretion by “denial selfrepresentation” and that petitioner discusses the Marsden hearing at some length in addressing

the claim. (Req. for Sealed Doc. at 1.) Because petitioner has placed the Marsden hearing at

issue in his habeas petition pending before this court, disclosure of that transcript to counsel for

respondent is appropriate in order to provide them an adequate opportunity to respond to

petitioner’s claims.
