ORDER
13
14
This is a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2254 in which
15
petitioner, a state prisoner, is proceeding pro se. On May 1, 2012, petitioner paid the filing fee for this
16
action. (ECF No. 3.)
17
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the clerk shall FILE and ELECTRONICALLY
18
SERVE the petition (ECF No. 1-1) upon the respondents. A petition for federal habeas corpus should
19
include all claims for relief of which petitioner is aware. If petitioner fails to include such a claim in his
20
petition, he may be forever barred from seeking federal habeas relief upon that claim. See 28 U.S.C.
21
§2254(b) (successive petitions). If petitioner is aware of any claim not included in his petition, he should
22
notify the court of that as soon as possible, perhaps by means of a motion to amend his petition to add
23
the claim.
24
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respondents shall have forty-five (45) days from
25
entry of this order within which to answer, or otherwise respond to, the petition. In their answer or other
26
response, respondents shall address any claims presented by petitioner in his petition as well as any
1
claims presented by petitioner in any statement of additional claims. Respondents shall raise all
2
potential affirmative defenses in the initial responsive pleading, including lack of exhaustion and
3
procedural default. Successive motions to dismiss will not be entertained. If an answer is filed,
4
respondents shall comply with the requirements of Rule 5 of the Rules Governing Proceedings in the
5
United States District Courts under 28 U.S.C. §2254. If an answer is filed, petitioner shall have forty-
6
five (45) days from the date of service of the answer to file a reply.
7
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, henceforth, petitioner shall serve upon the attorney
8
general of the state of Nevada a copy of every pleading, motion, or other document he submits for
9
consideration by the court. Petitioner shall include with the original paper submitted for filing a
10
certificate stating the date that a true and correct copy of the document was mailed to the attorney
11
general. The court may disregard any paper that does not include a certificate of service. After
12
respondents appear in this action, petitioner shall make such service upon the particular deputy attorney
13
general assigned to the case.
14
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any state court record exhibits filed by respondents
15
shall be filed with a separate index of exhibits identifying the exhibits by number or letter. The CM/ECF
16
attachments that are filed further shall be identified by the number or numbers (or letter or letters) of the
17
exhibits in the attachment. The hard copy of any additional state court record exhibits shall be
18
forwarded – for this case – to the staff attorneys in Reno.
