Petitioner, on probation and therefore in custody in the State of California, filed a habeas

14

corpus petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 on March 26, 2015. (Dkt. No. 1.) On April 15,

15

2015, the Court issued an Order directing Petitioner to serve respondent and respondent’s attorney

16

with a copy of the Order and the petition, and requiring respondent to file within 91 days of the

17

Order an answer showing cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted. (Dkt. No. 4.)

18

When that deadline had passed, the Court ordered Petitioner to show cause by September 16, 2015

19

why his petition should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. (Dkt. No. 7.) In light of the

20

Petitioner’s show cause response (Dkt. No. 8), the Court VACATES its Show Cause Order and

21

ORDERS the Clerk of Court to serve respondent and the respondent’s attorney, the Attorney

22

General of the State of California, with a copy of this Order, Docket No. 4, and the petition with

23

all attachments, forthwith.
