respondent. On November 12, 2014, Petitioner notified the Court that she had been transferred 

from California Institution for Women (CIW) in Corona, California to Folsom Women’s Facility 

(FWF) in Represa, California. In her motion to amend the petition to name the proper 

respondent, Petitioner states that the current warden of F.W.F. is A.W. Cox. As A.W. Cox is the 

state officer who currently has custody of Petitioner, she is the proper Respondent in this action. 

Upon a review of the record, the Court notes that it does have a copy of the Tuolumne 

County Superior Court’s order denying Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner
