ORDER REQUIRING PETITIONER TO

SUBMIT SIGNED DECLARATION WITHIN

TWENTY DAYS 

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

Upon a close examination of the petition submitted to the Court, the Court has discovered

that the petition does not contain an original signature. Local Rule 7-131 requires a document

submitted to the Court for filing to include an original signature. In addition, Rule 2 of the Rules

Governing Section 2254 Cases requires a petition for writ of habeas corpus to “be signed under

penalty of perjury by the petitioner.”

In light of the difficulty in having Petitioner submit a new habeas corpus petition, Petitioner

is ORDERED to submit a document stating that he submitted the instant petition to the Court and

sign it under penalty of perjury. The document should contain an original signature. Petitioner is

GRANTED twenty (20) days from the date of service of this order to comply with the Court’s

directive.
