(HC) Chestang v. Sisto Doc. 89 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 DANIEL K. CHESTANG, 11 12 13 14 15 16 Petitioner, No. CIV S- 07-1173 LKK GGH P vs. D.K. SISTO, Warden, Respondent. ORDER / Judgment in this case was entered on September 30, 2009, pursuant to an order 17 dismissing petitioner’s application brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2254. Petitioner, through his 18 retained counsel, filed a timely notice of appeal, on October 29, 2009, and a certificate of 19 appealability issued on December 22, 2009. Although the appeal to the Ninth Circuit has been 20 processed, petitioner has subsequently filed a motion for reconsideration, as well as amended 21 objections to the underlying findings and recommendations, adopted by the district judge in the 22 September 30, 2009, Order. The court will order that the motion for reconsideration and 23 amended objections be disregarded for several reasons. In the first place, this court has lost 24 jurisdiction of this matter as an appeal is pending; second, petitioner has submitted the filings at 25 issue pro se, when he has been proceeding in this matter through counsel and should not 26 communicate with the court except through his retained counsel; third, neither by his motion or 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 his amended objections does the petitioner raise any substantive ground for revisiting the 2 judgment, even if the court retained jurisdiction; finally, his putative amended objections are 3 untimely. 4 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for reconsideration and 5 amended objections to the findings and recommendation, both filed on December 29, 2009, at 6 docket # 87 and # 88, respectively, are disregarded as inapposite. 7 8 DATED: January 14, 2010 /s/ Gregory G.
