UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

LANA LECHABRIER, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

ANDRE MATEVOUSIAN, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:14-cv-01624 GEB AC P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this habeas 

corpus action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. On October 1, 2014, petitioner was given an 

extension of her time to show cause why the court should not recharacterize her § 2241 petition as 

a § 2255 motion. ECF No. 28. On October 9, 2014, petitioner responded to the order stating that 

“petitioner’s understanding is that Eastern District Court will re-categorize 28 USC 2241 as 28 

USC 2255 and proceed forthwith to consider petitioner’s 28 USC 2255.” ECF No. 32. In light of 

petitioner’s consent, this court will construe her § 2241 petition as a § 2255 motion and order that 

the docket be corrected to so reflect. The Clerk of the Court will be directed to file the petition 

(ECF No. 1) in Case No. 08-cr-0427-MCE-EFB-5, and to update the docket in this case to 

recharacterize the petition as a § 2255 motion. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Petitioner’s § 2241 petition (ECF No. 1) is recharacterized as a § 2255 motion.

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to file the § 2255 motion (ECF No. 1) in United 

States v. LeChabrier, #2:08-cr-00427 MCE EFB, and to reassign this case and update the docket 

to reflect that it is the companion § 2255 civil case to United States v. LeChabrier, #2:08-cr00427 MCE EFB.
