UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAURENCIO MARTINEZ QUINTERO,

Petitioner,

v.

TAMMY FOSS,

Respondent.

No. 2:20-cv-00200-TLN-CKD P

ORDER

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a third amended petition for a writ of 

habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On March 14, 2024, the court ordered 

respondent to file an answer to petitioner’s third amended petition within 60 days. ECF No. 49. 

The deadline for filing an answer has passed and respondent has failed to comply with the court’s 

order. As a result, petitioner filed a motion to compel an answer from respondent on June 20, 

2024. ECF No. 50. A review of the docket indicates that an answer is still outstanding. 

Therefore, the court will grant petitioner’s motion to compel and order respondent to show cause 

why sanctions are not appropriate based on the failure to comply with the court’s March 14, 2024 

order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s motion to compel (ECF No. 50) is granted to the extent that respondent 

shall be ordered to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed for failing to comply with
