Brian Anthony DeDen v. Attorney General of California
Filing 3
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: DISMISSAL OF HABEAS PETITION by Magistrate Judge Paul L. Abrams. On June 2, 2017, Rita DeDen ("Ms. DeDen") filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in State Custody pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 ( "Petition" or "Pet.") 1 on behalf of her son, Brian Anthony DeDen ("petitioner"). Ms. DeDen purports to be filing the Petition as a "next friend," pursuant to Central District Local Rule 83-16.3. (Pet. at 2, Attach. to Question 9). Based on the foregoing, Ms. DeDen is ordered to show cause why the instant Petition should not be dismissed without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction because she lacks standing to bring the action on behalf of petitioner , and because she is not an attorney authorized to practice law before this Court. To avoid dismissal, if Ms. DeDen still seeks to proceed on behalf of petitioner as a "next friend," on or before June 28, 2017, she shall (1) file a motion seeking "next friend" status, addressing the factors cited in Whitmore; and (2) either provide evidence that she is authorized to practice law before this Court, or proceed with legal representation. (SEE ORDER FOR FURTHER INFORMATION) (Attachments: # 1 BLANK- NOTICE OF DISMISSAL FORM) (gr)
