UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEWIS JAMES SATTERFIELD,

Petitioner,

v.

JAMES D. HARTLEY,

Respondent.

 /

1:10-cv-01195-DLB (HC)

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION

FOR PERMISSIVE JOINDER

[Doc. 8]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On September 15, 2010, Petitioner filed a motion for permissive joinder. Petitioner

requests this Court to consolidate the instant action with case number 1:10-cv-00717 AWI JMD

(HC), because both individuals were allegedly sentenced and are serving an indeterminate

sentence proscribed pursuant to California’s Determinate Sentence Law, Penal Code section

1170, and both inmates are similarly situated. 

Petitioner provides no basis to allow joinder in this action, and the Court notes that in

case number 1:10-cv-00717 AWI JMD (HC) was dismissed with prejudice on the merits on

December 3, 2010. Accordingly, Petitioner’s motion for permissive joinder is HEREBY

DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: January 4, 2011 /s/ Dennis L. Beck
