UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EDWARD JAMES SERVIN, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

RONALD RACKLEY, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:15-cv-779-JAM-EFB P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner requests an extension of time to file his opposition to respondent’s 

motion to dismiss. He also seeks clarification as to who the proper respondent is in this action, 

given petitioner’s recent transfer to a new prison. The court hereby clarifies that the proper 

respondent is the warden of the facility where petitioner is being held, and the court will 

substitute the correct respondent as needed. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 435 (2004).

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for extension of time is granted and 

petitioner has 30 days from the date this order is served to file a response to the motion to 

dismiss. The Clerk shall terminate docket entries 13 and 14. 

DATED: August 12, 2015.
