Petitioner,

J. SOTO,

ORDER

Respondent.

17

By order filed August 4, 2017, respondent was granted an extension of time, up to

18

October 10, 2017, to file a response to the petition. ECF No. 38. On October 9, 2017, respondent

19

filed an answer in this case. ECF No. 39. However, the answer is in response to the petition filed

20

in Cebrero v. Frauenheim, 1:16-cv-0173 DAD JLT, and respondent has yet to file a response to

21

the petition in this case. It is not clear whether petitioner received a copy of the responsive

22

pleading that respondent intended to file because though he has filed a document that appears to

23

be intended as a traverse, it is dated September 18, 2017. ECF No. 40.

24

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

25

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to strike the October 9, 2017 answer (ECF No. 39)

26

from the record.
