IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
TONY ANDRE SAMPSON, Petitioner, vs. HEDGEPETH,1 Respondent. /
No. CIV S-10-0405-CMK-P
ORDER
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner's amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 12). Rule 2(c) of the Federal Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases requires that every habeas corpus petition must: (1) specify all the grounds for relief; (2) state the facts supporting each ground for relief; (3) state the relief requested; (4) be printed, typewritten, or legibly handwritten; and (5) be signed under penalty of perjury. In the instant case, the petition fails to meet one or more of these requirements. While petitioner has now named the correct

respondent, petitioner has not set forth any claims for relief or facts in support of his petition. Section 12 on pages 4-6 of the pre-printed habeas petition used by petitioner where claims and supporting facts would be set forth is completely blank. Petitioner will be provided an opportunity to file an amended petition which satisfies Rule 2(c). Petitioner is warned that failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this action. See Local Rule 110. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to update the docket to reflect that
Hedgepeth is the only respondent to this action; 2. Petitioner's amended petition for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 12) is
dismissed with leave to amend; 3. Petitioner shall file an amended petition on the form employed by this
court, and which satisfies the requirements of Rule 2(c) of the Federal Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, within 30 days of the date of this order; and 4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner the court's form
habeas corpus application.
