UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THEODORE CURTIS ROWE,

Petitioner,

v.

BITER, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00667-LJO-SKO HC

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

RESPONDENT SHOULD NOT BE 

SANCTIONED FOR FAILURE TO 

RESPOND TO THE PETITION

(Doc. 8)

RESPONSE DUE WITHIN 15 DAYS

On May 27, 2016, the Court entered an order directing Respondent to file a response to 

the petition for writ of habeas corpus in the above-captioned case. Doc. 8. Although the order 

required that the response be filed within 60 days, Respondent has neither filed his response nor 

requested an extension of time in which to do so.

The Court has discretion to impose any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or 

within the inherent power of the Court, based on Respondent's failure to comply with the Court's 

order. F.R.Civ.P. 11; Local Rule 110.

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that within 15 days from the date of this order, 

Respondent shall file a written response to the Court, showing cause why sanctions should not be 

imposed against him for failure to obey the Court's order of May 27, 2016. Filing of a response

to the petition shall be considered an appropriate response to this order to show cause.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 1, 2016 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto .
