IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL ROTHWELL,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-2917 GEB KJM P

vs.

M. MARTELL,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a California prisoner proceeding pro se with an application for writ

of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On May 27, 2010, petitioner filed a motion in which

he seeks release on bail. The court can only release a habeas petitioner in an extraordinary case

involving special circumstances or after a showing of a high probability of success on the merits

of a habeas petition. In re Roe, 257 F.3d 1077, 1081 (9th Cir. 2001). Petitioner has not made the

showing necessary for the court to order petitioner released on bail.
