IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

J.C. SMITH,

Petitioner, No. 2:09-cv-0041 JFM (HC)

vs.

D.K. SISTO, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

This action is proceeding on petitioner’s January 6, 2009 petition for writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, in which petitioner contests the Board of Parole

Hearings’ denial of parole on July 26, 2007. On March 2, 2010, petitioner filed a request for

judicial notice and a request for an evidentiary hearing. Petitioner seeks to admit the decision of

a parole board hearing held on October 1, 2009 in which parole was again denied. Petitioner,

however, may not challenge this most recent denial of parole in the present petition without first

showing that he has exhausted his state remedies. Additionally, petitioner fails to state the

reason for which he is requesting an evidentiary hearing. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s March 2, 2010 request

for judicial notice and evidentiary hearing is denied.

DATED: March 29, 2010.
