ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Petitioner, a state prisoner, has filed this petition for a

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He has been

granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis. It does not appear

from the face of the petition that it is without merit. Good cause

appearing, the Court hereby issues the following orders:

1. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order

and the petition and all attachments thereto upon Respondent and

Respondent's attorney, the Attorney General of the State of

California. The Clerk shall also serve a copy of this Order on

Petitioner at his current address. 

2. Respondent shall file with this Court and serve upon

Petitioner, within one-hundred twenty (120) 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 issued. Respondent shall file with the

Answer a copy of all portions of the relevant state records that

have been transcribed previously and that are relevant to a

determination of the issues presented by the petition. 

3. 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 sixty (60) days of his receipt of the Answer. 

Should Petitioner fail to do so, the petition will be deemed

submitted and ready for decision sixty (60) days after the date

4. Respondent may file with this Court and serve upon

Petitioner, within sixty (60) days of the issuance of this Order, a

motion to dismiss on procedural grounds in lieu of an Answer, 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 to the motion within

sixty (60) days of receipt of the motion, and Respondent shall file

with the Court and serve on Petitioner a reply within fifteen (15)

days of receipt of any opposition.

5. It is Petitioner's responsibility to prosecute this case. 

Petitioner must keep the Court and Respondent informed of any

change of address and must comply with the Court's orders in a

timely fashion. Petitioner must also serve on Respondent's counsel

all communications with the Court by mailing a true copy of the

document to Respondent's counsel. 

6. Extensions of time are not favored, though reasonable

extensions will be granted. Any motion for an extension of time

must be filed no later than ten (10) days prior to the deadline

sought to be extended.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
