UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ARQUIMEDES MENDOZA, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

MATTHEW CATE, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:09-cv-1710 MCE AC P (TEMP)

ORDER 

 Petitioner is a former state prisoner proceeding through counsel with a petition for a writ 

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled in this matter 

for July 25, 2016. On July 18, 2016, petitioner filed a motion to continue the evidentiary hearing, 

explaining that the two witnesses he wishes to call at the hearing will not be available to testify on 

July 25 despite the efforts of petitioner’s trial counsel to obtain their attendance. Good cause 

appearing, petitioner’s request for a continuance will be granted. This matter will be reset for 

evidentiary hearing at a later date at the court’s own initiative. 

 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that petitioner’s July 18, 2016 motion to continue 

evidentiary hearing (ECF No. 99) is granted. The evidentiary hearing currently scheduled for 

July 25, 2016 is vacated and will be reset at the court’s initiative at a later date. 

DATED: July 20, 2016
