ORDER CONSTRUING PETITIONER’S

MAY 18, 2010, FILING AS MOTION TO

AMEND THE PETITION TO NAME A

PROPER RESPONDENT

[Doc. #9]

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO NAME

PROPER RESPONDENT

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT

TO CHANGE NAME OF RESPONDENT

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On April 19, 2010, the Court preliminarily reviewed the petition and found Petitioner had

failed to name a proper respondent. The Court granted Petitioner leave to amend the petition and

name a proper respondent. On May 18, 2010, Petitioner filed the first page of his original petition

wherein he changed the name of Respondent to “Warden Brenda Cash.” Petitioner is incarcerated at

California State Prison, Los Angeles County, and Brenda Cash is presently the warden of that

institution. Therefore, Brenda Cash is the proper respondent in this matter.
