FELKER, Respondent. / Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel on a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On November 20, 2009, the court dismissed the petition with leave to amend. The dismissal order explained the petition's deficiencies, gave petitioner 30 days to file an amended petition correcting those deficiencies, and warned petitioner that failure to file an amended petition would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. The 30-day period has expired and petitioner has not filed an amended petition or otherwise responded to the court's order. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk randomly assign a United States District Judge to this action. ////
