IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN G. REID, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-1409 LKK DAD P

vs.

D.K. SISTO, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner incarcerated at California State Prison- Solano and

proceeding through counsel, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254. In 1981, petitioner was convicted in the Contra Costa Superior Court of second

degree murder with an enhancement for using a weapon. In this action, petitioner is challenging

the governor’s 2005 reversal of the Parole Board’s decision granting petitioner parole. Petitioner

has paid the filing fee.

Since petitioner may be entitled to the requested relief if the claimed violation of

constitutional rights is proved, respondents will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s

application.
