UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JACKSON E. THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 07CV1358 WQH (AJB)

ORDER CLOSING CASE

vs.

JEANNE S. WOODFORD, et al.,

Defendant.

HAYES, Judge:

On July 25, 2007, Petitioner Jackson E. Thomas filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Doc. # 1). Thereafter, on August 9, 2007, the Court dismissed the

Petition without prejudice and with leave to amend on the grounds that Petitioner failed to name the

proper respondent. (Doc. # 3). As noted in the Court’s Order of August 9, 2007, “[t]he actual person

who is [the] custodian [of the petitioner] must be the respondent.” (Doc. # 3 at 2); see also Ashley v.

Washington, 394 F.2d 125, 126 (9th Cir. 1968); Brittingham v. United States, 982 F.2d 378, 379 (9th

Cir. 1992).

On October 9, 2007, Petitioner filed an ex parte motion requesting an extension of time to file

a First Amended Petition (Doc. # 4). On October 15, 2007, this Court granted the ex parte motion and

ordered Petitioner to file a First Amended Petition on or before November 19, 2007. (Doc. # 5).

Petitioner did not file a First Amended Petition on or before November 19, 2007. Accordingly,

the Clerk of the Court is Ordered to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: February 19, 2008
