ORDER
/

16

Petitioner, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for writ of

17

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He challenges convictions entered in the Superior Court

18

of Sacramento County in 2007.

19

A review of court records in Coats v. McDonald, CIV-S-09-1125 KJM KJN P

20

reveals that petitioner has a petition for writ of habeas corpus pending in this court in which he

21

also challenges his 2007 Sacramento County convictions. Pursuant to the Ninth Circuit Court of

22

Appeals’ decision in Woods v. Carey, 525 F.3d 886, 890 (9th Cir. 2008), the court will order that

23

the petition filed in this case be identified as an “amended petition” and filed in CIV-S-09-1125

24

KJM KJN P. The court will also order that this case be closed.
