Respondents

Lonnie W. Lotshaw has submitted a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus under

11 28 U.S.C. § 2241. ECF No. 1-1. He is in custody at Southern Nevada Detention Center serving a
12 federal sentence, and he challenges the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ calculation of his sentence. Id.
13 I have conducted a preliminary review of the petition under Habeas Rule 4 and direct that it be
14 served on respondents.
15

A petition for a writ of federal habeas corpus should include all claims for relief of which

16 petitioner is aware. If petitioner fails to include such a claim in his petition, he may be forever
17 barred from seeking federal habeas relief upon that claim. See 28 U.S.C. §2244(b) (successive
18 petitions). If petitioner is aware of any claim not included in his petition, he should notify the
19 court of that as soon as possible, perhaps by means of a motion to amend his petition to add the
20 claim.
21

It is therefore ordered that the Clerk of Court detach, file, and electronically SERVE the

22 petition [ECF No. 1-1] and this order through CM/ECF on the United States Attorney for the
23 District of Nevada in accordance with Rule 5(b)(2)(E) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
24

It is further ordered that respondents file a response to the petition, including potentially

25 by motion to dismiss, within 45 days of service of the petition, with any requests for relief by
26 petitioner by motion otherwise being subject to the normal briefing schedule under the local

1 rules. Any response filed is to comply with the remaining provisions below, which are entered
2 pursuant to Habeas Rule 5.
3

It is further ordered that any procedural defenses raised by respondents in this case be

4 raised together in a single consolidated motion to dismiss.
5

It is further ordered that petitioner has 45 days from service of the answer, motion to

6 dismiss, or other response, to file a reply or opposition, with any other requests for relief by
7 respondents by motion otherwise being subject to the normal briefing schedule under the local
8 rules.
9

It is further ordered that any exhibits filed herein by either petitioner or respondents be

10 filed with a separate index of exhibits identifying the exhibits by number. The parties will
11 identify filed CM/ECF attachments by the number of the exhibit in the attachment. Each
12 exhibit must be filed as a separate attachment.
13

It is further ordered that, at this time, the parties send courtesy copies of any responsive

14 pleading or motion and all INDICES OF EXHIBITS ONLY to the Reno Division of this court.
15 Courtesy copies shall be mailed to the Clerk of Court, 400 S. Virginia St., Reno, NV, 89501, and
16 directed to the attention of “Staff Attorney” on the outside of the mailing address label. No
17 further courtesy copies are required unless and until requested by the court.
