IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NICHOLAS B. GARCIA,

Petitioner, No. 2:07-cv-00621 ALA HC

vs.

D.K. SISTO, ORDER

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner is proceeding with an application for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. §

2254. 

Respondent is directed to file, within twenty-one (21) days from the date of this order, a

brief, consisting of no more than ten (10) pages, responding to Petitioner’s contention that he is

entitled to have this Court determine whether habeas corpus relief is available to him because of

the fact that his disciplinary conviction will affect his eligibility for release on parole as

evidenced by the continuance of his May 2, 2007, parole hearing and the alleged statements of

the parole board on that date that parole will be denied outright if the Petitioner’s application for

habeas corpus relief is denied by this Court. In responding to this issue please discuss the

applicability, if any, to the following cases: Wilkinson v. Dotson, 544 U.S. 74 (2005); Heck v.

Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994); Docken v. Chase, 393 F.3d 1024 (9th Cir. 2004); Ramirez v.

Galaza, 334 F.3d 850 (9th Cir. 2003); Neal v. Shimoda, 131 F.3d 818 (9th Cir. 1997); and Bostic
