Petitioner,
v.

No. 1:17-cv-749-WJ-KRS

of Indian Affairs, Office of Justice Services,
Division of Corrections, DANIEL PENA,
Governor, Kewa Pueblo, KENNETH CRISPIN,
Lieutenant Governor, Kewa Pueblo, TIMOTHY
BAILON, Tribal Official, Kewa Pueblo, ROGER

ORDER DIRECTING PETITIONER TO RESPOND
THIS MATTER comes before the Court sua sponte, following a review of Respondents
Timothy Bailon’s and Roger Calabaza’s Answer to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus [Doc. No.
11], filed November 09, 2017. In their answer, Respondents Bailon and Calabaza state that, to
the best of their knowledge, there neither is nor has there ever been a Governor or Lieutenant
Governor of the Santo Domingo Tribe (Kewa Pueblo) named Daniel Pena or Kenneth Crispin.
[Doc. No. 11, p. 2]. Based on this representation, it appears that Petitioner has not served the
Governor or Lieutenant Governor of the Kewa Pueblo, and that Petitioner’s Petition and the
caption of this case include incorrect respondents.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that within ten (10) days of the entry of this order,
Petitioner shall provide the Court with an explanation for the above-detailed errors as well as
submit any requests for amendments and/or corrections.
