UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HERIBERTO BOTELLO

Petitioner,

v.

TIM VIRGA, Warden, 

Respondents.

Case No. 1:12-cv-01702-BAM HC

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK 

OF COURT TO AMEND CAPTION

Rule 2(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts

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

name as respondent the state officer who has custody.” Petitioner has advised the Court that he is 

presently incarcerated in Pleasant Valley State Prison, Coalinga, California. As a result, Tim Virga, 

the former warden of California State Prison, Sacramento, 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.
