UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID VALENZUELA ARZATE,

Petitioner,

v.

CLARK E. DUCART, Warden, 

Respondent.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01256-SKO HC

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK 

OF COURT TO AMEND CAPTION

“If the petitioner is currently in custody under a state court judgment, the petition must name 

as respondent the state officer who has custody.” Rule 2(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 

Cases in the United States District Courts. Petitioner has advised the Court that he is presently 

incarcerated in Pleasant Valley State Prison, Coalinga, California. As a result, Clark E. Ducart, the 

warden of the Pelican Bay State Prison, Crescent City, California, no longer has custody of 

Petitioner. Scott Frauenheim, Warden of Pleasant Valley State Prison, now has custody of 

Petitioner.

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS the Clerk of Court to amend the caption in this 

matter to reflect the name of Scott Frauenheim, Warden, Pleasant Valley State Prison, as 

Respondent.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
