BULOS ZUMOT,

Petitioner,

v.

DEAN BORDERS, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No. 4:19-cv-01319-KAW(PR) 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Petitioner Bulos Zumot, a state prisoner, has filed this petition for a writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He has paid the $5.00 filing fee. It does not appear from the face of

the petition that it is without merit. Good cause appearing, the Court hereby issues the following 

orders:

1. Petitioner shall serve a copy of this Order and the petition and all attachments 

thereto upon Respondent and Respondent’s attorney, the Attorney General of the State of 

California.

2. Respondent shall file with this Court and serve upon Petitioner, within sixty (60) 

days of the issuance of this Order, an Answer conforming in all respects to Rule 5 of the Rules 

Governing Section 2254 Cases, showing cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not be issued. 

Respondent shall file with the Answer a copy of all portions of the relevant state records that have 

been transcribed previously and that are relevant to a determination of the issues presented by the 

petition. 

3. If Petitioner wishes to respond to the Answer, he shall do so by filing a Traverse 

with the Court and serving it on Respondent within sixty (60) days of his receipt of the Answer. 

Should Petitioner fail to do so, the petition will be deemed submitted and ready for decision sixty

(60) days after the date Petitioner is served with Respondent’s Answer. 

4. Respondent may file with this Court and serve upon Petitioner, within sixty (60) 

days of the issuance of this Order, a motion to dismiss on procedural grounds in lieu of an Answer, 

as set forth in the Advisory Committee Notes to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 

Cases. If Respondent files such a motion, Petitioner shall file with the Court and serve on 

Respondent an opposition or statement of non-opposition to the motion within sixty (60) days of 

receipt of the motion, and Respondent shall file with the Court and serve on Petitioner a reply 

within fourteen (14) days of receipt of any opposition.

5. Upon showing of good cause, requests for a reasonable extension of time will be 

granted provided they are filed on or before the deadline they seek to extend.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
