IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES D. NIVETTE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0759 LKK DAD P

vs.

JAMES A. YATES, Warden,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the filing fee.

The court requires all petitions for writ of habeas corpus be filed on the proper

form which is provided by this court. Moreover, the court may limit its review of the petition for

relief to the information on the form only and need not consider any memoranda or attachments

to the petition. See Rule 2(c), Rules Governing § 2254 Cases. 

Although petitioner has submitted a standard habeas form, petitioner has failed to

present his claims and supporting facts on the form. Instead, petitioner refers the court to his

123-page attachment. Petitioner is hereby notified that in order for this court to review his

application, he must refile his petition on the proper form. If petitioner requires additional space,

petitioner must continue responses as needed on pages that follow the same format as the form

and are clearly linked to the form by page number or question number. Petitioner is advised that

although he may submit a separate memorandum to support his petition for relief, the court's

must state all claims and prayers for relief on the form. It must bear the case number assigned to

this action and must bear the title “Amended Petition”; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner the form for habeas corpus

application. 

DATED: April 30, 2007.
