UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIEL TREGLIA,

Petitioner,

v.

TUOLOMNE SUPERIOR COURT,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 07-00693 AWI SMS HC

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

CHANGE NAME OF RESPONDENT

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

When the petition was initially filed, Petitioner named the Tuolomne County Superior

Court, as Respondent. A petitioner filing a petition for writ of habeas corpus must name the state

officer who has custody of the petitioner as the respondent. Rule 2 (a) of the Rules Governing §

2254 cases; Ortiz-Sandoval v. Gomez, 81 F.3d 891, 894 (9th Cir. 1996). Normally, the person

having custody of an incarcerated petitioner is the warden of the prison in which the petitioner is

incarcerated because the warden has "day-to-day control over" the petitioner. Brittingham v.

United States, 982 F.2d 378, 379 (9th Cir. 1992); see also Stanley v. California Supreme Court,

21 F.3d 359, 360 (9th Cir. 1994). 

On May 18, 2007, the Court issued an order to show cause why the petition should not be

dismissed for lack of jurisdiction in that Petitioner had not named a proper Respondent. On June

4, 2007, Petitioner filed a notice naming Warden Walkeras the Respondent.
