IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY THOMAS BRANTLEY, No. CIV S-06-2723-DFL-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

T. FELKER, 

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner’s petition for

a writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1), filed on December 1, 2006.

The court has examined the petition as required by Rule 4 of the Federal Rules

Governing Section 2254 Cases. It does not plainly appear from the petition and any attached

exhibits that petitioner is not entitled to relief. See id. Respondents, therefore, will be directed

to file a response to petitioner’s petition. See id. If respondents answer the petition, such answer

must comply with Rule 5 of the Federal Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. Specifically, an

answer shall be accompanied by any and all transcripts or other documents relevant to the

determination of the issue(s) presented in the petition. See id.
