IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JANICE CHAVEZ,

Petitioner,

 vs.

SCHELIA A. CLARK, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 07-3938 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a federal prisoner. Petitioner contended that she

should be admitted to a Community Corrections Center rather than being retained at Camp

Parks. Respondent filed a motion to dismiss the petition as moot because petitioner had been

admitted to the program and then paroled. An order setting deadlines for an opposition and

reply was entered on April 28, 2008. 

Petitioner has not filed a notice of change of address, so the clerk sent the scheduling

order to the only address the court had for her, her prison address. It was returned on May 7,

2008. On May 12, 2008, the Assistant United States Attorney representing respondent filed a

copy of a letter that he sent to petitioner at an address in San Diego. In the letter he provided

her with a copy of the scheduling order and informed her that she should provide her current

address to the clerk. 

The time to oppose the motion to dismiss expired on May 14, 2008, and it has been two

weeks since the letter from counsel for respondent to petitioner. Petitioner has not asked for an

extension of time, provided a new address, or filed an opposition. No useful purpose would be

served by delaying further the ruling on the motion.

The motion to dismiss the petition as moot (document number 9 on the docket) is

GRANTED. The case is DISMISSED. The clerk shall close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
