IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HAROLD PAUL MARCHAND, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-0020 DFL KJM P

vs.

JEANNE WOODFORD, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a parolee proceeding with a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under

28 U.S.C. § 2254. On May 9, 2005, the court dismissed the petition but granted petitioner leave

to file an amended petition. Petitioner filed the amended petition on June 9, 2005.

Petitioner raises three grounds. In the first, he alleges that “since a 1962 arrest

after being expelled from a [sic] adult high school . . . . . . until present time a conviction hasn’t

ben legal. . . . the sentencing phase need further review. Pet. at 5. His other grounds appear to be

related, stemming from the requirement, following his 2000 conviction for stalking, that he

register as a sex offender. 

It appears that petitioner is challenging judgments from more than one state court

in a single petition; this is not permissible under the habeas rules. Rule 2 (e), Rules Governing
