KEVIN DALE CARSON, Petitioner, v. JASON BENNETT, Respondent.
MINUTE ORDER
The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable Michelle L. Peterson, United States Magistrate Judge:
This is a federal habeas action proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On August 15, 2024, this Court issued an Order directing Petitioner to show cause why this action should not be dismissed. (Dkt. # 6.) The Court observed therein that Petitioner had not exhausted his claim for federal habeas relief and that it appeared his petition was time-barred. (See id.) The same day, the Court received from Petitioner a series of motions, including motions requesting that Respondent be directed to produce the record necessary to adjudicate this matter, that Petitioner be permitted to conduct discovery, that Respondent be directed to file an answer to Petitioner's petition, and that the Clark County Clerk be directed to produce copies of the Clerk's file in
Petitioner's underlying criminal case. (Dkt. ## 7-8, 11-12.)
Petitioner's requests for relief are premature as he has yet to demonstrate that his federal habeas petition is eligible for review. Accordingly, Petitioner's pending motions (dkt. ## 7-8, 1112) are STRICKEN pending a response from Petitioner to the Court's Order to Show Cause.
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Minute Order to Petitioner together with a copy of the Court's Order to Show Cause (dkt. # 6).
