IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TEIQUON LEWIS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-1136 GEB EFB P

vs.

EVANS, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with an application for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenges his 1999 conviction in Solano

County Superior Court on four counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery, with

findings of personal use of a deadly weapon, personal use of a firearm, infliction of great bodily

injury, two prior convictions and one prior prison term, and the sentence of 150 years to life in

prison imposed under California’s Three Strikes Law. One of petitioner’s grounds for relief is

that the pretrial identification procedure was impermissibly suggestive, in violation of his right

to due process. The state trial and appellate courts denied this claim after viewing trial exhibits

consisting of photographs of the live lineup in which petitioner was one of the participants. This

court has not been provided with those exhibits.

Rule 7 of the Rules Governing Habeas Corpus Cases provides that the court may direct

that the record be expanded by the parties by the inclusion of additional materials, including trial

exhibits, “relating to the petition.” The photographs of the live lineup are relevant and necessary

to a determination of the merits of the petition pending before this court. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty days from the filed date of

this order, respondent shall lodge with this court the trial exhibits consisting of photographs of

the live lineup in which petitioner was one of the participants.

DATED: August 3, 2010.
