(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: MOOTNESS

In its Answer, Respondent contends that the Petition is moot because “Petitioner has
already been released from prison.” (ECF No. 32 at 20). Petitioner did not address this
contention in his Traverse. (ECF No. 39). Therefore, Petitioner is ORDERED TO SHOW
CAUSE on or before December 27, 2017 why the Petition should not be dismissed as
moot. See United States v. Palomba, 182 F.3d 1121 (9th Cir. 1999). Petitioner’s response to
this Order to Show Cause shall not exceed 10 pages and shall address (1) whether he is still in
custody or on probation, and if so, the prospective date of his sentence’s completion; and (2)
Respondent’s mootness argument raised in the Answer. Failure to file a timely response
to this Order to Show Cause may result in dismissal of this action on grounds of
mootness and/or failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P 41(b); L.R. 41-1.
