PETITION FOR AND WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS AD TESTIFICANDUM

2
Petitioner respectfully petitions the Court to issue a Writ of Habeas Corpus Ad Testificandum
for the prisoner Willie D. Johnson, whose place of custody and jailor are set forth in the
3
requested Writ, attached hereto, and your petitioner avers that the prisoner is required to appear
4
5
in the above-entitled matter in this Court August 19, 2019 at 9:00 a.m., and therefore petitioner
6
requests that this Court issue the Writ as presented.
7
This is a 28 U.S.C. section 2254 habeas corpus action filed in 1998, by California capital
8
9
inmate Willie Darnell Johnson, challenging his Contra Costa County conviction and death
10
sentence for first degree murder, attempted murder, and related offenses, with special
11
circumstances. The Court has set August 19, 2019 at 9:00am for argument on Claim I, that
12
Petitioner is actually innocent of the offenses for which he was convicted in 1987. Petitioner’s
13
presence at that hearing is necessary to a fair determination of the issues at the hearing. He is
14
15
16
confined at San Quentin Prison, San Quentin, California.
Should the Court issue this Order, representatives to the warden of San Quentin are instructed
17
to transport Willie D. Johnson from San Quentin State Prison on or before August 19, 2019 at
18
19
9:00a.m., for the duration of the hearing for access to the U.S. Courthouse/Federal Building, to
