He also had pending before this Court

Case No. C 04-04213 CW (PR), a habeas corpus petition which challenges the findings of the BPH at Petitioner's July 17, 2003 parole suitability hearing. In an Order dated January 22, 2008, the Court sua sponte consolidated his petition in Case No. C 07-5577 CW (PR) with the earlier one. On January 29, 2008, Respondent filed an objection to the Court's January 22, 2008 Order. Respondent claims that nowhere in
