UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO JASON PAUL HEINZE, Case No. 1:11-CV-00180-EJL Petitioner, JUDGMENT v. PAM SONNEN,1 Respondent. In accordance with the Order filed on this date, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that this case is dismissed with prejudice. Additionally, this case is hereby ordered closed. DATED: November 7, 2011 Honorable Edward J. Lodge U. S. District Judge 1 Petitioner is currently housed at Southern Idaho Correctional Center (SICI). Accordingly, the Court substitutes SICI Warden Pam Sonnen as respondent in this case. Failure to name a proper respondent in a habeas corpus case deprives the court of personal jurisdiction over the matter. Stanley v. California Supreme Court, 21 F.3d 359, 360 (9th Cir. 1994) (a petitioner's failure to name the appropriate respondent deprives the court of personal jurisdiction). The “State of Idaho” and “Ada County” are not a proper respondents in a habeas corpus action. See Smith v. Idaho, 383 F.3d 934, 937 (9th Cir. 2004). MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER - 1
