IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARTIN KILLINGSWORTH,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-2869 LKK EFB P

vs.

TOM L. CAREY, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel and in forma pauperis, seeks a

writ of habeas corpus. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254. By order filed January 17, 2007, his petition was

dismissed with leave to amend. He has since filed an amended petition. 

A judge “entertaining an application for a writ of habeas corpus shall forthwith award the

writ or issue an order directing the respondent to show cause why the writ should not be granted,

unless it appears from the application that the applicant or person detained is not entitled

thereto.” 28 U.S.C. § 2243. It is not apparent from the face of the application that the petitioner

is not entitled to the relief sought.

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that:

1. Respondent shall file and serve either an answer or a motion in response to petitioner’s

application within 60 days from the date of this order. See Rule 4, Fed. R. Governing § 2254

Cases. Any response shall be accompanied by any and all transcripts or other documents

relevant to the determination of the issues presented in the application. See Rules 4, 5, Fed. R.

Governing § 2254 Cases.

2. Petitioner’s reply, if any, shall be filed and served within 30 days of service of an

answer. 

3. If the response to petitioner’s application is a motion, petitioner’s opposition or

statement of non-opposition shall be filed and served within 30 days of service of the motion,

and respondents’ reply, if any, shall be filed within 15 days thereafter. 

4. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this order together with a copy of

petitioner’s January 29, 2007, amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus with any and all

attachments on Michael Patrick Farrell, Senior Assistant Attorney General for the State of

California.

Dated: November 1, 2007.
