Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL Case No. CV 21-00036-CJC (AS) Date February 22, 2021 Title __Eduardo Inchaustequil'v. Kings County

Present: The Honorable Alka Sagar, United States Magistrate Judge Alma Felix N/A Deputy Clerk Court Reporter / Recorder Attorneys Present for Petitioner: Attorneys Present for Respondent: N/A N/A Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On January 7, 2021, Eduardo Inchaustequii (‘Petitioner’), located in San Bernardino County and proceeding pro se, filed a “Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus” (Docket No. 1), which the Court construed as a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in State Custody pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254

(“Petition”) (see Docket No. 3 at 1). On January 12, 2021, the Court issued an Order Requiring the Filing of a First Amended Petition. (Docket No. 3). (A copy of the Court’s January 12, 2021 Order is attached.) The Court screened the Petition and found it deficient in the following respects: (1) Petitioner has failed to identify the proper Respondent, the name of the person having custody of Petitioner, i.e., prison warden; (2) Petitioner’s claim(s) are incomprehensible, the Court is unable to discern what claim(s) Petitioner intends to assert, and Petitioner does not identify the claims for which he purports to provide supporting facts; (3) It is not clear whether the Central District of California is the proper venue since [it] 1s not clear in what court Petitioner suffered his conviction; (4) Petitioner has alleged vague and conclusory “claims,” in violation of Fed.R.Civ.P. Rule 8(a) and 8(d); (5) Petitioner has failed to plainly state “[t]he statutory or other basis for the exercise of jurisdiction by this Court,” in violation of Central District Local Rule 8-1 and Fed.R.Civ.P. Rule 8(a); (6) It is unclear whether Petitioner has failed to exhaust each and every “claim” alleged in the Petition; and (7) Petitioner’s claim(s) are noncognizable to the extent that they do not relate to the fact of his confinement.
