15 Respondent.
17 Petitioner, a state 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 first amended petition, ECF No. 12. Petitioner’s original petition was dismissed for failure to name the correct Respondent. See ECF No. 11. In the first amended petition, Plaintiff has named the proper Respondent, Joshua Prudhel. See ECF No. 12.
