Case No.: 1:16-cv-00180 JLT (HC)
ORDER STRIKING PETITIONER’S
MISCELLANEOUS MOTION
(Doc. 15)

On February 9, 2016, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. The Court issued an

18

order directing Respondent to file an answer to the petition. Before Respondent filed his answer, on

19

April 20, 2016, Petitioner filed a pleading entitled “Petition for Opposel [sic].” There is no such

20

pleading in a habeas corpus action. Upon review of the pleading, it appears that Petitioner is merely

21

providing further argument concerning the claims he raised in his petition. The Court did not request

22

further briefing, nor was Petitioner granted leave to provide further briefing. Accordingly, the

23

pleading entitled “Petition for Opposel” is STRICKEN.
