IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OSCAR MORALES,

Petitioner, No. 2: 12-cv-0544 LKK KJN P

vs.

ANTHONY HEDGPETH, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a petition for writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On November 30, 2012, respondents filed a motion

to dismiss. Petitioner did not oppose the motion. Accordingly, on January 9, 2013, petitioner was

ordered to show cause for his failure to oppose respondents’ motion.

On February 28, 2013, petitioner filed a response to the order to show cause. 

Petitioner states that he could not file a timely opposition because he was without his legal property

due to a transfer to a new prison. Petitioner states that he did not receive his legal property until

February 23, 2013.
