IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY BROUSSARD, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-3242 KJM P

vs.

MIKE EVANS, Warden, ORDER AND

Respondent. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

 /

Petitioner is a state prison inmate proceeding pro se with a petition for a writ of

habeas corpus challenging a denial of parole. On April 28, 2010, the court directed respondent

to file a response to the petition. He has not responded to the court’s order.

On July 19, 2010, petitioner filed a motion for a ruling on his habeas petition,

noting respondent’s failure to respond and reasoning that he is entitled to relief. However, the

state’s failure to respond does not entitle petitioner to a default judgment. Gordon v. Duran, 895

F.2d 610, 612 (9th Cir. 1990).

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s motion for a ruling (docket no. 8) is denied;
