ROBERT ROMANO,

10

Petitioner,

ORDER

v.

12

Case No. 3:14-cv-00187-MMD-WGC

RENEE BAKER, et al.,
Respondents.

13
14

This pro se habeas petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 comes before the Court

15

for consideration on the merits. Following review, it appears that certain transcripts or

16

audio recordings that were a part of Petitioner’s trial have not been filed as part of the

17

state court record. Specifically, Respondents have not filed transcripts of the following:

18

(1) Petitioner’s interview with Detective Roberts; (2) J.R.’s interview with Investigator

19

Sheldon; and (3) J.R.’s interview with her mother, all of which were recorded on audio

20

tape and played for the jury. (See ECF Nos. 23-1, 24-1, 25-1 (Ex. 41 (Tr. 167-69); Ex. 42

21

(Tr. 91-92); (Ex. 43 (Tr. 31)).) The Court is in need of those materials to evaluate the

22

Petitioner’s claims.

23

It is therefore ordered that within ten (10) days of the date of entry of this order,

24

Respondents must supplement the record with the aforementioned transcripts, or file a

25

notice indicating where in this Court’s record those transcripts may be located.
