In this habeas action, a previous order, issued by Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler,

16

ordered respondent Scott Kernant to respond to the instant habeas petition by April 4, 2016

17

(Dkt. No. 8). The case was subsequently reassigned to the undersigned judge and the

18

reassignment order stated that all briefing schedules and other deadlines remained unchanged

19

(Dkt. No. 12). It is now over a month past the deadline and no response to the habeas petition

20

has been received. By NOON ON MAY 23, 2016, respondent is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW

21

CAUSE,

in writing, why no response to the habeas petition has been filed. By that same date,

22

respondent shall file either an answer to the petition or a dispositive motion. Failure to respond,

23

or to show good cause why no response was filed by April 4, will result in the habeas petition

24

being granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
