UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEITH W. HARRELL,

Petitioner,

v.

ERIC ARNOLD,

Respondent.

No. 2:15-cv-0052 TLN CKD P

ORDER

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

under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The petition is fully briefed and submitted to the court for decision.

On November 18, 2015, petitioner filed a document in which he seeks permission to 

engage in discovery. However, petitioner fails to identify in general terms the information he 

seeks, provide the court with proposed discovery requests or explain his delay in seeking to 

engage in discovery. Because petitioner has not shown “good cause” for the court granting leave 

to conduct discovery as required under Rule 6 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, 

petitioner’s request will be denied.
