IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STANLEY GREEN, No. CIV S-04-1835-MCE-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

JAMES YATES, et al.,

Respondents.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with appointed counsel and in forma

pauperis, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending

before the court is respondents’ motion to dismiss (Doc. 28), filed on February 6, 2006. 

Respondents’ motion is based on the recent death of petitioner, which has been established to the

court through documents attached to the motion. The death of the petitioner renders a habeas

action moot. See Dove v. United States, 423 U.S. 325 (1976) (per curiam) (dismissing certiorari

petition because petitioner had died). Therefore, dismissal is appropriate.

Based on the foregoing, the undersigned recommends that this petition be

dismissed.
