ORDER

v. UNKNOWN, Respondent. 16 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil action. Petitioner initiated this action with a pleading captioned “Petition for Writ of Mandamus (28 U.S.C. § 1651).” See ECF No. 1. Since filing his original pleading, Petitioner has separately filed two pleadings captioned “Supplemental Petition” and both citing 28 U.S.C. § 1651, 28 U.S.C. § 2254, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. See ECF Nos. 6 and 7. Under Eastern District of California Local Rule 220, pleadings must be complete in and of themselves without the need to reference prior pleadings.

Petitioner will be required to file a single operative pleading which states all claims for relief and supporting facts. / / / / / / 1 …
