IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD RAMIREZ, No. CIV S-06-2167-LKK-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

ROSEANNE CAMPBELL, et al.,

Respondents.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner’s petition for

a writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1), filed on October 2, 2006. 

Rule 2(c) of the Federal Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases requires that every

habeas corpus petition must: (1) specify all the grounds for relief; (2) state the facts supporting

each ground for relief; (3) state the relief requested; (4) be printed, typewritten, or legibly

handwritten; and (5) be signed under penalty of perjury. In the instant case, the petition fails to

meet one or more of these requirements. Specifically, petitioner fails to set forth any grounds for

relief, those portions of the petition being blank. In addition, the petition is not signed.
