IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID MARSHALL GATES,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-04-2632 MCE JFM P

vs.

WARDEN MARSHALL, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a

petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. By order filed April 1, 2005,

petitioner’s original petition was dismissed pursuant to Rule 2(c), Rules Governing § 2254

Cases, for failure to specify the grounds for relief in his petition and petitioner was granted thirty

days to file an amended petition. On April 29, 2005, petitioner filed an amended petition. The

amended petition is essentially unintelligible. Good cause appearing, petitioner will be given one

final opportunity to amend his petition to present claims for relief cognizable in this federal

habeas corpus action.

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

1. Petitioner’s amended petition for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed with leave

to amend within thirty days from the date of this order;
