PERJURY

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Petitioner filed the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus on April 14, 2010.

original signature under penalty of perjury. Local Rule 7-131 requires a document submitted to

the Court for filing to include an original signature. In addition, Rule 2 of the Rules Governing

Section 2254 Cases requires a petition for writ of habeas corpus to “be signed under penalty of

difficulty in having petitioner submit an entire new habeas corpus petition, Petitioner is

ORDERED to submit a document stating that he submitted the instant Petition to the Court and

signed it under penalty of perjury. The document should contain an original signature also made

under penalty of perjury. Petitioner is GRANTED twenty (20) days from the date of service of

this order to comply with the Court’s directive. Petitioner is forewarned that failure to comply
