IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JUAN C. MONTOYA, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-2082 FCD CMK P

vs.

LEE WONG, Warden, et al., Order Discharging Order to Show Cause

Respondents. And Ordering a Response

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding with appointed counsel in this habeas

action. By order filed September 28, 2006, the court ordered respondents to file a response to

petitioner’s habeas application and ordered the Clerk of the Court to serve a copy of this order

and a copy of the petition on Michael Farrell, Senior Assistant Attorney General. When

respondent failed to file an answer, the court issued an order to show cause by December 16,

2006. Although the docket reflects that a copy of the court’s September 28, 2006 order and a

copy of the petition were served on Michael Farrell (doc. 6), it has become clear to the court

through inquiries to the Attorney General’s office that the petition was not served. Accordingly,

the court will discharge the order to show cause, order a copy of the petition and the court’s

September 28, 2006 order re-served on the respondent, and will order a responsive pleading

filed.
