IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLOPHER DOTSON, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-2251 FCD KJM P

vs.

M.C. KRAMER, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the filing fee. Since petitioner

may be entitled to relief if the claimed violation of constitutional rights is proved, respondent

will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s habeas petition.

On June 29, 2007, petitioner filed a request that the court consider additional

points and authorities in support of petitioner’s claims. Good cause appearing, the court will

consider the material provided to the court on June 29, 2007, to the extent the material provides

support for claims in petitioner’s application for writ of habeas corpus. The court will not

consider new claims appearing in the June 29, 2007 documents.
