8 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA CARLOS JUAREZ, No. 2:22-CV-1680-DMC-P 12 Petitioner, ORDER 13 v. WARDEN, 15 Respondent.

17 Petitioner, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s petition, ECF No. 1. “A petitioner for habeas corpus relief must name the state officer having custody of him or her as the respondent to the petition.” Stanley v. California Supreme Court, 21 F.3d 359, 360 (9th Cir. 1994); see also Rule 2(a), Federal Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. Because Petitioner has not named the appropriate state officer, Petitioner will be provided leave to amend to correct this technical defect by naming the correct respondent. See Stanley, 21 F.3d at 360. In order to allow the Court to determine proper venue, Petitioner shall also list on his amended petition the state court of conviction. Petitioner is warned that failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this action. See Local Rule 110.
