UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CLENARD CEBRON WADE,

Petitioner, 

v. 

FRED FOULK, 

Respondent. 

Case No. 13-cv-4636-TEH 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

Petitioner Clenard Cebron Wade, a state prisoner, proceeds 

with a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 

U.S.C. § 2254. The Court previously found that nine claims were 

sufficient to require a response and ordered Respondent to show 

cause. Respondent filed a motion to dismiss arguing that the 

petition contained both exhausted and unexhausted claims and some 

of the claims failed to raise a federal constitutional issue. 

As noted in the prior Court order several claims were 

dismissed and the Court found that three claims should continue: 

one, two and nine. The Court also found that claim seven was 

unexhausted but Petitioner could file a motion to stay to exhaust 

it or strike the claim. Petitioner had filed a response 

indicating his desire to strike claim seven and continue with the 

other three claims. Docket No. 26. 

Therefore, the case proceeds on the following three claims: 

(1) the trial court denied Petitioner his right to represent

himself; (2) the trial court gave erroneous jury instructions 

with respect to battery with serious bodily injury that violated 

due process; and (3)1 juror misconduct and bias. 

For the foregoing reasons, the Court orders as follows: 

1. Respondent shall file with the Court and serve on 

Petitioner, within sixty-three (63) days of the issuance of this 

Order, an Answer conforming in all respects to Rule 5 of the 

Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, showing cause why a writ of 

habeas corpus should not be granted. Respondent shall file with 

the Answer and serve on Petitioner a copy of all portions of the 

state trial record that have been transcribed previously and that 

are relevant to a determination of the issues presented by the 

Petition. 

If Petitioner wishes to respond to the Answer, he shall do 

so by filing a Traverse with the Court and serving it on 

Respondent within twenty-eight (28) days of his receipt of the 

Answer. 

2. In lieu of an Answer, Respondent may file a Motion to 

Dismiss on procedural grounds, as set forth in the Advisory 

Committee Notes to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 

Cases. If Respondent files such a motion, Petitioner shall file 

with the Court and serve on Respondent an Opposition or Statement 

of Non-Opposition within thirty-five (35) days of receipt of the 

motion, and Respondent shall file with the Court and serve on 

Petitioner a Reply within fourteen (14) days of receipt of any 

Opposition.
