No. 2: 15-cv-2560 JAM KJN P
Petitioner,

v.

ORDER

DOLLY MATTEUCCI,
Respondent.

16
17

Petitioner is proceeding without counsel with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant

18

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On December 28, 2015, the court ordered respondent, represented by Senior

19

Assistant Attorney General Michael Patrick Farrell, to file a response to the petition. Sixty days

20

passed and respondent did not file a response. Accordingly, on March 15, 2016, the court ordered

21

respondent to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed for failing to respond to the

22

December 28, 2015 order.

23

On March 25, 2016, the Department of State Hospitals (“DSH”), represented by

24

Supervising Deputy Attorney General Ismael A. Castro, filed a response to the show cause order.

25

(ECF No. 12.) According to Mr. Castro, it has been determined that neither the Criminal

26

Division, the Correctional Writs Section nor the Health, Education and Welfare Section of the

27

Attorney General’s Office represent DSH in matters involving duration or release from

28

confinement petitions filed by defendants. Mr. Castro states that all concerned parties agree that
1

1

the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office is the appropriate responding party. DSH states that

2

the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office was unaware of petitioner’s writ until the deadline to

3

respond had expired. DSH requests an extension of time to properly respond.

4

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

5

1. The order to show cause is discharged;

6

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to remove Attorney General

7

9

Ismael Castro from the service list;
3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to amend court records to reflect that respondent is
represented by the Yolo County District Attorney General’s Office; and that orders issued in this

10

action be served on Jonathan Raven, Chief Deputy Assistant Attorney, Yolo County District

11

Attorney’s Office, 301 Second Street, Woodland, California, 95695; and on Sean Rashkis,

12

Assistant Chief Counsel, Legal Services Division, Department of State Hospitals, 1600 9th Street,

13

Sacramento, California, 95814;

petition.
