UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MANUEL GEORGE MANCILLA,

Petitioner,

v.

ACTING WARDEN, High Desert State 

Prison,

Respondent.

No. 1:13-cv-00399-LJO-SKO HC

 ORDER DIRECTING 

 CLERK OF COURT

 TO AMEND CAPTION

“If the petitioner is currently in custody under a state court judgment, the petition must 

name as respondent the state officer who has custody.” Rule 2(a) of the Rules Governing Section 

2254 Cases in the United States District Courts. Petitioner is presently incarcerated in High 

Desert State Prison, Susanville, California. As a result, Connie Gipson, the former warden of 

California State Prison, Corcoran, no longer has custody of Petitioner. The Acting Warden of 

High Desert State Prison, who is yet to be named publicly, now has custody of Petitioner.

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS the Clerk of Court to amend the caption in this 

matter to reflect “Acting Warden, High Desert State Prison,” as Respondent.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 21, 2016 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto
