ORDER

13
14

Bobby Stroup, a prisoner at Ely State Prison, has filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas

15

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the filing fee for this action. (ECF No. 3).

16

The petition shall now be filed and served on respondents.

17

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

18

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

19

seeking federal habeas relief upon that claim. See 28 U.S.C. §2254(b) (successive petitions). If

20

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

21

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

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Clerk shall FILE and ELECTRONICALLY

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respondents shall have forty-five (45) days from 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

6

forty-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

13

Attorney General assigned to the case.

14

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

15

herein shall be filed with a separate index of exhibits identifying the exhibits by number or letter.
