UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HAROLD H. FAGAN,

Petitioner,

v.

R. GROUNDS, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:12-cv-01681-SKO HC

ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO 

SUPPLEMENT THE LODGED RECORD

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a petition for writ 

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The Court referred the matter to the Magistrate 

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rules 302 and 304.

Among Petitioner's grounds for seeking habeas corpus relief is the insufficiency of the 

evidence to support the trial court's determination that Petitioner be involuntarily medicated. 

Because the trial court made its decision with reference to the reports of various mental health 

professionals and because the California appellate courts reviewed the trial court's decision in light 

of those reports, this Court needs to review those opinions to consider Petitioner's grounds fully.

According to Respondent, the trial record included the following mental health evaluations: 

(1) two sealed reports of Thomas Middleton, Ph.D.; (2) sealed report of Kathe Lundgren, Ph.D.; (3) 

sealed report of Carol Hendrix, Ph.D.; (4) sealed report of Eugene Couture, Ph.D.; (5) sealed report 

of Robert Sincoff, M.D.; (6) sealed memorandum from Salinas Valley Psychiatric Program to Kern 

County Superior Court; (7) sealed report of Akira Suzuki, Ph.D.; and (8) sealed certification of

restoration to competency. Doc. 13 at 3-4. Although review of this evidence is necessary to 

evaluate Petitioner's claims, Respondent did not include these eight reports in the trial record filed 

with this Court. Doc. 13 at 4.

Accordingly, the Court hereby DIRECTS the Respondent to supplement the state record in 

the above-captioned matter, lodged in paper on May 14, 2013, with the eight mental health reports 

listed above. Respondent shall file the requested supplemental materials no later than thirty (30) 

days from the date of this order. Respondent may move to file these documents under seal pursuant 

to Local Rule 141. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
