No. 2:14-cv-1789 AC P
Petitioner,
v.
ORDER
R.T.C. GROUNDS, Warden, et al.,
Respondents.
16
17
Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a petition for a
18
writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. ECF No. 1. Pending before the court is
19
respondent’s motion to dismiss the petition as untimely and unexhausted. ECF No. 14. In his
20
opposition to respondent’s motion, petitioner asserts that he filed a petition for review with the
21
California Supreme Court on May 1, 2013 and attaches a copy of the petition as “Exhibit A” to
22
his opposition. ECF No. 19. However, the face sheet of the petition attached as “Exhibit A” does
23
not contain a file or “docketed” stamp indicating that it was received by the California Supreme
24
Court. See id. at 10. Petitioner further asserts that the California Supreme Court issued a ruling
25
on his petition for review. However, he has not provided the court with a copy of this ruling.
26
Respondent represents that there is no record a petition for review was ever filed, let alone
27
ruled on, in petitioner’s case. The court’s review of the California appellate courts’ online
28
records database, available at http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov, confirms that it contains no
1
1
record of any California Supreme Court filing by petitioner.1
2
Accordingly, petitioner is directed to file any documentation in his possession that
3
demonstrates his petition for review, Exhibit A to ECF No. 19, was actually presented to and/or
4
ruled on by the California Supreme Court.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner file within
seven (7) days from the date of this order:
7
(1) A copy of the file or “docketed” stamped page of the petition for review he filed in
8
the California Supreme Court; and
9
(2) A copy of all rulings he received from the California Supreme Court;
10
(3) If petitioner has no responsive documents, he shall file a statement so informing the
11
court.
