IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RONALD DEE YOUNG,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-2873 WBS EFB P

vs.

SCOTT KERNAN,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, seeks a writ of habeas corpus. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 2254. By order filed April 10, 2007, the court deemed petitioner’s amended

petition timely filed.

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 relief.

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that:

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

petitioner’s amended application within 60 days from the date of this order. See Rule 4, Fed. R.

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.

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 March 20, 2007, 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 5, 2007.
