IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD R. BREDFIELD, No. 2:12-CV-1478-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

UNKNOWN,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has consented to Magistrate Judge

jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) and no other party has been served or appeared in the

action. 

On October 2, 2012, the court dismissed petitioner’s petition and directed

petitioner to file an amended petition within 30 days naming the correct respondent. Petitioner

was warned that failure to file an amended petition may result in dismissal of this action for lack

of prosecution and failure to comply with court rules and orders. See Local Rule 110. As of

March 10, 2016, petitioner had not complied. Specifically, while petitioner has filed three

separate amended petitions since the court’s original order, none names the correct respondent.

Petitioner names as respondent to the first amended petition “Siskiyou County Superior Court

Hon. Laura Masunaga Judge.” In the second amended petition, petitioner names as respondent

“People of the State of California.” In the third amended petition, petitioner names “3rd District

Appellate Court.” 

Petitioner was directed to show cause in writing why this action should not be

dismissed for failure to comply with court orders. That order was returned as undeliverable on or

about March 21, 2016, because petitioner is deceased. Accordingly, this action is dismissed and

the Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment and close this file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: March 31, 2016
