v. L. MARTINEZ, Respondent. 16 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 first Petitioner’s petition, ECF No. 9. Petitioner’s original petition was dismissed with leave to amend for failure to name the correction respondent. See ECF No. 8.
