IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES BENJAMIN CHARLES,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0156 FCD EFB P

vs.

KUMA DEBOO, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a federal prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus. See 28

U.S.C. § 2241. He challenges a sentence imposed by a federal court. On May 23, 2007, the court

mistakenly directed the Office of the California Attorney General to respond to the petition. On

June 8, 2007, a representative of that office requested that the court discharge the order to

respond, noting the error. Obviously, the Office of the California Attorney General is not

required to defend federal sentences. Accordingly, the May 23, 2007, order must be vacated.

It is ORDERED that the May 23, 2007, order is vacated and the Office of the California

Attorney General need not respond to the petition.

Dated: June 15, 2007.
