UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RICHARD A. BRIDGEWATER, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

McDOWELL, Warden, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:16-cv-1071 JAM GGH P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On May 26, 2016, the court issued Findings and Recommendations recommending that the 

application be dismissed without prejudice to its refiling upon obtaining authorization from the 

United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. That order allowed objections to be filed to 

the Findings and Recommendations within fourteen days after petitioner was served. Insofar as 

no objections were received, the district judge adopted the Findings and Recommendations and 

entered Judgement on the case on August 11, 2016. 

 On August 22, 2016, petitioner filed an Amended Application for a writ of habeas corpus 

without having sought the certification required by the court, thus doing so in violation of a court 

order.

 In light of the foregoing, the amended application is an improperly filed post-dismissal 

document with no basis in the rules of procedure, and will be disregarded. Petitioner is again 

advised to ask for a certification to proceed from the Ninth Circuit.
