No. 2:16-cv-1908-EFB P
v.
ORDER
DARREN GRIEM,
15
Respondent.
16
Petitioner proceeds without counsel and seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28
17
18
U.S.C. § 2254. He has paid the filing fee. However, the court cannot the required review of the
19
amended petition because petitioner has not signed it. See ECF No. 5 at 20. Rule 11 of the
20
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires that “[e]very pleading, written motion, and other paper .
21
. . be signed by at least one attorney of record in the attorney’s name—or by a party personally if
22
the party is unrepresented.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). Because petitioner is not represented by
23
counsel and did not sign the petition himself, it will be disregarded.
24
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
25
1. The Clerk of the Court shall strike the amended petition (ECF No. 5) from the docket.
26
2. Within thirty days, petitioner shall file a signed petition using the form employed by
this court and stating all claims and prayers for relief.
