Through counsel, Petitioner, a state prisoner, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas

following orders: 

1. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order and the petition and all 

attachments thereto upon Respondent and Respondent’s attorney, the Attorney General of the 

State of California. The Clerk shall also serve a copy of this Order on Petitioner’s counsel, 

Erik Babcock, 1212 Broadway, Suite 726, Oakland, CA 94612. 

2. Respondent shall file with this Court and serve upon Petitioner, within onehundred and twenty (120) days of the issuance of this Order, an Answer conforming in all 

respects to Rule 5 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, showing cause why a writ of 

habeas corpus should not be issued. Respondent shall file with the Answer a copy of all 

portions of the relevant state records that have been transcribed previously and that are relevant 

to a determination of the issues presented by the petition. 

3. If Petitioner wishes to respond to the Answer, he shall do so by filing a Traverse 

with the Court and serving it on Respondent within sixty (60) days of his receipt of the

4. Respondent may file a motion to dismiss on procedural grounds in lieu of an 

Answer, as set forth in the Advisory Committee Notes to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing 

Section 2254 Cases. If Respondent files such a motion, Petitioner shall file with the Court and 

serve on Respondent an opposition or statement of non-opposition to the motion within sixty 

(60) days of receipt of the motion, and Respondent shall file with the Court and serve on 

Petitioner a reply within fifteen (15) days of receipt of any opposition. 

5. Extensions of time are not favored, though reasonable extensions will be 

granted. Any motion for an extension of time must be filed no later than ten (10) days prior to 

the deadline sought to be extended. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
