UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID EARL POPE,

Petitioner,

v.

ROSEANNE CAMPBELL, warden, 

Respondent. /

No. C 06-1829 SI (pr)

ORDER DISMISSING MOTION FOR

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Petitioner has filed a motion for partial summary judgment in this habeas action. The

motion is DISMISSED as unnecessary. (Docket # 20.) Respondent filed her answer on

February 7, 2007, and petitioner's traverse is due on June 1, 2007. There is no need for the

additional step of a motion for summary judgment; it would confuse the record, require further

briefing by the parties and require additional work by the court when the legal issues can and

will be resolved in the regular course of consideration of the habeas petition. The court will

address the legal issues arising from each of the claims asserted in the petition after the traverse

is filed. Petitioner is cautioned that his traverse must include all of his arguments about all of his

claims. He is further cautioned that the traverse may not exceed 25 pages in length and must be

double-spaced text (whether handwritten or typed). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 1, 2007
