ORDER

14

On June 1, 2017, this court denied petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis and

15

directed him to pay the filing fee in order to proceed with his petition for writ of habeas corpus

16

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. ECF No. 5. He has complied with that order and paid the required

17

fee. ECF No. 6. The court has reviewed the petition pursuant to Habeas Rule 4, and the petition

18

shall be filed herein and served upon the respondents.

19

A petition for federal habeas corpus should include all claims for relief of which petitioner is

20

aware. If petitioner fails to include such a claim in his petition, he may be forever barred from

21

seeking federal habeas relief upon that claim. See 28 U.S.C. §2244(b) (successive petitions). If

22

petitioner is aware of any claim not included in his petition, he should notify the court of that as soon

23

as possible, perhaps by means of a motion to amend his petition to add the claim.

24

IT THEREFORE IS ORDERED that the clerk shall FILE the petition for writ of habeas

25

corpus (ECF No. 1-1) and ELECTRONICALLY SERVE the petition and a copy of this order on the

26

respondents.

him to file and serve a response to the motion to dismiss, and respondents shall, thereafter, have 30

9

days to file a reply in support of the motion.

10

IT FURTHER IS ORDERED that any additional state court record exhibits filed herein by

11

either petitioner or respondents shall be filed with a separate index of exhibits identifying the
