(HC) Jasper v. Bird

8 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA LEE CHARLES JASPER, Case No. 2:22-cv-1226 KJM DB P Petitioner, ORDER v. LANDON BIRD, Warden, 16 Respondent.

18 Petitioner raises issues regarding the state court denial of claims regarding trial counsel. A record of the sealed March 27, 2018 hearing on that complaint (ECF No. 13-3, Reporter’s Supplemental Transcript on Appeal at 9-23) is not before this Court. It appears possible that this transcript may be relevant and helpful for the court to consider in reviewing the decision of the state court 23 Accordingly, the court will request that respondent shall transmit complete copies to the court. In doing so the court makes no finding as to whether it is appropriate for the court to consider these transcripts. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(2); See Cullen v. Pinholster, 563 U.S. 170 (2011).

All pending deadlines are vacated pending the receipt of the sealed transcripts. The 8 court will reset the deadline following receipt of the requested transcripts.
