IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROGER BETTENCOURT,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-2246 FCD DAD P

vs.

BOARD OF PRISON TERMS, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an amended petition for a

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to this court’s November 2, 2007 order. In his amended petition,

petitioner names Mike Knowles, Warden of California Medical Facility, as the respondent in this

action. Warden Knowles is the proper respondent. Accordingly, the case will proceed on

petitioner’s amended petition, and the Clerk of the Court will be directed to amend the docket to

reflect Warden Knowles as the respondent.

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

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

petition.
