ORDER

15
Jesse Raymond Voss, a prisoner at High Desert State Prison, has filed a pro se
16
petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the filing fee for
17
this action. (ECF No. 1-2_). The petition shall now be filed and served on respondents.
18
A petition for federal habeas corpus should include all claims for relief of which
19
petitioner is aware. If petitioner fails to include such a claim in his petition, he may be forever
20
barred from seeking federal habeas relief upon that claim. See 28 U.S.C. §2254(b) (successive
21
petitions). If petitioner is aware of any claim not included in his petition, he should notify the Court
22
of that as soon as possible, perhaps by means of a motion to amend his petition to add the claim.
23
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Clerk shall FILE and
24
ELECTRONICALLY SERVE the petition (ECF No. 1) upon the respondents.

4

any claims presented by petitioner in any Statement of Additional Claims. Respondents shall raise

5

all potential affirmative defenses in the initial responsive pleading, including lack of exhaustion and

6

procedural default. Successive motions to dismiss will not be entertained. If an answer is filed,

7

respondents shall comply with the requirements of Rule 5 of the Rules Governing Proceedings in the

8

United States District Courts under 28 U.S.C. §2254. If an answer is filed, petitioner shall have

9

forty-five (45) days from the date of service of the answer to file a reply.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, henceforth, petitioner shall serve upon the

11

Attorney General of the State of Nevada a copy of every pleading, motion, or other document he

filing a certificate stating the date that a true and correct copy of the document was mailed to the

Attorney General. The Court may disregard any paper that does not include a certificate of service.

15

After respondents appear in this action, petitioner shall make such service upon the particular Deputy

16

Attorney General assigned to the case.
