(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE  

On September 12, 2017, Petitioner filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 
28 U.S.C. § 2241.  Petitioner has not shown that he exhausted all available remedies.  “[C]ourts 
require that habeas petitioners exhaust all available judicial and administrative remedies 
before seeking relief under § 2241.”  Ward v. Chavez, 678 F.3d 1042, 1045 (9th Cir. 2012). 

Accordingly, Petitioner is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before October 6, 2017 
why the Petition should not be dismissed for failure to exhaust available remedies.  Petitioner 
may discharge this order by filing with the Court evidence sufficient to show that he has 
exhausted all available remedies or that exhaustion would be futile.  See id. 

Petitioner is advised that the failure to file a timely response to this order will result 
in a recommendation that this action be dismissed for failure to prosecute or obey court 
orders.  If Petitioner no longer wishes to pursue this action, Petitioner may voluntarily dismiss 
the action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a) by filing the attached “Notice of 
Dismissal.”  The Clerk is directed to attach to this Order a Notice of Dismissal Form (CV‐009).
