UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TRACY CONRAD SMITH,

Petitioner, No. C 09-3764 PJH

v.

ORDER DENYING MOTIONS

DARRAL ADAMS,

Respondent.

_______________________________/

On February 19, 2010, petitioner, who was proceeding pro se, filed a pro se motion

for an order to show cause, discovery, evidentiary hearing, appointment of counsel, and for

an extension of time to file his amended petition, due March 5, 2010, pursuant to this

court’s February 3, 2010 order dismissing his petition with leave to amend. On March 22,

2010, petitioner, who is now represented by counsel, filed another motion for an extension

of time to file his amended petition.

Given the fact that petitioner has now retained private counsel, his motion for

appointment of counsel is DENIED as moot. Additionally, petitioner’s motion for an order to

show cause is DENIED. The court will determine whether an order to show cause is

appropriate after it has reviewed petitioner’s amended petition once it is filed. Petitioner’s

motions for discovery and/or for an evidentiary hearing are DENIED without prejudice to his

counsel’s renewing the motions in conjunction with the claims raised by his amended

petition.

Dated: March 30, 2010
