On May 9, 2017, the Court issued an order granting Petitioner leave to amend the petition

19 Warden Keeton as Respondent in this matter. Keeton is the warden of the petitioner’s institution
20 and has “day-to-day control” over him; therefore, he is the correct respondent.

Accordingly, Petitioner’s motion to amend the instant petition and name a proper

22 respondent is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to substitute Keeton, Warden, as
23 Respondent.
