IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER DIXON,

Petitioner,

v.

TOM CAREY,

Respondent.

NO. C05-2862 TEH 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

The Court is in receipt of Petitioner’s application for writ of habeas corpus. Because it

does not “appear[] from the application” that Petitioner is not entitled to habeas relief, the

Court hereby orders Respondent “to show cause why the writ should not be granted.” 

28 U.S.C. § 2243. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court shall serve by certified mail a copy of this order, along with a

copy of Petitioner’s application for writ of habeas corpus, upon Respondent’s attorney, the

Attorney General of the State of California. This case has been designated for electronic

filing, and Respondent’s attorney shall immediately register with the Court’s electronic case

filing (“ECF”) system.

2. On or before Monday, September 26, 2005, Respondent shall file and serve an

answer showing cause why this Court should not issue a writ of habeas corpus. Respondent’s

answer shall conform in all respects to Rule 5 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 cases. In

addition, Respondent shall file and serve with his answer a copy of all portions of the

administrative record that have been transcribed previously and that are relevant to a

determination of the issues presented by the petition.
