Petitioner,

v.

S. FRAUENHEIM,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00600 MJS (HC)

ORDER REQUIRING PETITIONER TO 

SUBMIT SIGNED DECLARATION

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

not contain an original signature. Local Rule 131 requires a document submitted to the 

Court for filing to include an original signature. In addition, Rule 2(c)(5) of the Rules
