No. C 06-00069 JW (PR)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO

OPEN NEW CASE

Petitioner filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254. On March 3, 2007, the case was dismissed without prejudice for

failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). 

Petitioner has since filed several documents with this court, including a single

page, handwritten document titled “P[e]tition of Habeas Corpus.” However, the

information contained therein is not sufficient for this Court to determine whether

petitioner has stated cognizable claims under § 2254. 

For the reasons stated above, 

1) The clerk is instructed to OPEN a new case and TRANSFER Docket 

Nos. 22, 23 and 24 to the new habeas action. The clerk is directed to inform 

petitioner of the new case number assigned to this habeas action. According to

Case 5:06-cv-00069-JW Document 26 Filed 01/18/08 Page 1 of 2

Order Directing Clerk to Open New Case

P:\PRO-SE\SJ.JW\HC.06\Chavez00069_new file.wpd 2

petitioner, his legal mail should be sent to 100 Paseo De San Antonio, Suite 319,

San Jose, CA 95113. 

2) Petitioner is granted thirty (30) days from the date of this order to file

a petition using the court’s form petition. The amended petition must contain the

caption and new civil case number assigned to this case and the words AMENDED

PETITION on the first page. Failure to file an amended petition by the deadline will

result in dismissal of this action.

It is petitioner’s responsibility to prosecute this case. He must keep the Court

informed of any change of address by filing a separate paper with the clerk headed

“Notice of Change of Address.” He must comply with any orders of the Court

within the time allowed, or ask for an extension of that time. Failure to do so may

result in the dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule

of Civil Procedure 41(b). See Martinez v. Johnson, 104 F.3d 769, 772 (5th Cir.

1997) (Rule 41(b) applicable in habeas cases). 

The clerk shall attach two copies of the court’s form petition with a copy of

this order to petitioner.
