16

Plaintiff filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus which initiated these proceedings.

17

Plaintiff seeks relief regarding a closed habeas case, Snyder v. Martel, C 00-20620 RMW, that

18

was denied in 2003. This Court denied a certificate of appealability in that case, as did the Ninth

19

Circuit. Plaintiff has previously filed two additional cases in this Court in an attempt to attack

20

the same underlying criminal conviction: Snyder v. Martel, C 12-5716 PJH, and Snyder v. Pliler,

21

C 10-2542 PJH. Both cases were denied as successive. In Plaintiff’s current petition for writ of

22

mandamus, Plaintiff is requesting that the United States Supreme Court remand his closed

23

criminal case to the Superior Court. This Court received a service copy of the petition. (Docket

24

No. 1, p. 29.) Accordingly, it appears that this case was improvidently opened, and is therefore

25

DISMISSED. The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions, and close the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
