UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OTIS RUBE TERRY,

Petitioner,

v.

JAMES YATES, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 06-1118 AWI DLB HC

ORDER DISREGARDING PETITIONER’S

NOTICE OF APPEAL AS PROCEDURALLY

DEFICIENT

[Doc. 9]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Petitioner filed the instant petition for writ of on August 21, 2006. (Court Doc. 1.) On

November 27, 2006, the Court issued Findings and Recommendations recommending that the

instant petition be dismissed, without prejudice, as a successive petition. (Court Doc. 7.) 

Petitioner filed objections to the Findings and Recommendations on December 12, 2006. (Court

Doc. 8.) 

On January 8, 2007, Petitioner filed a notice of appeal. (Court Doc. 9.) Petitioner’s

notice of appeal is procedurally deficient, as the Court has yet to rule on the pending Findings

and Recommendations and judgment has not been rendered. As such, the filing of a notice of

appeal is premature, and will be disregarded on that basis.
