IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA COREY D. DUNN, Petitioner, vs. USA, et al., Respondents. / Petitioner, an individual detained on pending criminal charges and awaiting trial in state court, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.1 Petitioner has paid the filing fee. In his application, petitioner seeks relief from pending criminal proceedings by the Stanislaus County Superior Court. Stanislaus County is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. See Local Rule 3-120(d). ORDER No. CIV S-06-1659 MCE PAN P

As a general rule, the federal writ of habeas corpus will not extend to one awaiting trial unless special circumstances exist such that there is an absence of state processes effective to protect a federal right. See Ex Parte Royall, 117 U.S. 241, 245-254 (1886); Fay v. Noia, 372 U .S. 391, 420 (1963), overruled in part by Wainwright v. Sykes, 433 U.S. 72 (1977) and Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722 (1991). Petitioner does not allege an absence of state processes.
