UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ANTONIO VILLASENOR, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

MICHAEL MARTEL, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:09-cv-2324-TLN-EFB P 

ORDER 

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 2254. He commenced this action on August 21, 2009 with the filing of his original 

petition, which raised seven claims for relief. ECF No. 1. Thereafter, petitioner filed an amended 

petition, which included two additional claims for relief. ECF No. 17. On May 21, 2013, 

following the court’s order for respondent to respond to the amended petition, respondent filed an 

answer. ECF Nos. 19 & 38. Although the answer acknowledges petitioner’s filing of an 

amended petition, id. at 15 n. 2, it is directed to petitioner’s original petition, id. at 9, and fails to 

address the two additional claims included in the amended petition. 1

 Before filing the answer, respondent also acknowledged petitioner’s amended petition 

and all nine claims for relief in a motion to dismiss, which was subsequently denied as moot. 

ECF Nos. 23, 36.
