IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD GENE PHILLIPS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-0415 DFL KJM P

vs.

JOHN MARSHALL, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER AND

 / FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Petitioner is proceeding pro se with an application for writ of habeas corpus under

28 U.S.C. § 2254. Because it appears petitioner has now completed direct review with respect to

the convictions and sentences at issue in this action, respondents will be directed to file a

response to petitioner’s application.

Also, petitioner has filed a motion in which he requests that the court order

respondents not to transfer him out-of-state. Petitioner asserts that if he is transferred out-ofstate his ability to litigate this action will be compromised. However, petitioner has not shown

he would be denied access to the courts under Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343 (1996) if he were

transferred out-of-state. His motion will be denied.
