Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, moves for an evidentiary hearing on his claims. Respondent has
not filed opposition or consent. The matter has been referred to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rules 302 and 303.
A court has inherent power to control its docket and the disposition of cases with economy

14
of time and effort for both the court and the parties. Landis v. North American Co., 299 U.S. 248,
15

251-55 (1936); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992). Petitioner’s motion is

16
most efficiently considered when the Court begins its review of the record and consideration of
17
the petition. Because of the large volume of habeas petitions and limited Court resources, the
18

petition in this case will be addressed in due course.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that consideration of Petitioner’s motion for
evidentiary hearing is DENIED as premature, until the Court considers the merits of the petition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
