ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

MOTION TO AMEND PETITION

[Doc. 10]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On January 6, 2010, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. (Pet. (Doc. 1))

On June 24, 2010, Petitioner filed the instant motion to amend the petition along with a first

amended petition. (Mot. & Am. Pet. (Docs. 9-10)) Petitioner seeks to address issues raised

by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal in Hayward v. Marshall, 603 F.3d 546 (9th Cir. 2010)

decided after his original petition was filed. 

Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides, in relevant part:

 (1) Amending as a Matter of Course. A party may amend its pleading once as

a matter of course: (A) 21 days after serving it, or (B) if the pleading is one to

which a responsive pleading is required, 21 days after service of a responsive

pleading or 21 days after service of a motion under Rule 12(b), (e), or (f),

whichever is earlier.
