Opinion
No. C 10-04074 SBA (PR) Docket no. 8
11-18-2011
JEFFREY PRIETO, Petitioner, v. R. GROUNDS, Warden, Respondent.
ORDER GRANTING RESPONDENT'S MOTION TO WITHDRAW ANSWER
Before the Court is Respondent's motion to withdraw his Answer filed on March 29, 2011. Respondent claims that he was not served with the Court's February 11, 2011 Order denying the petition for a writ of habeas corpus because he had not yet appeared in the case when that Order was issued. Thus, the February 11, 2011 Order makes Respondent's Answer unnecessary, and Respondent therefore moves to withdraw it.
Because this case is closed pursuant to the Court's February 11, 2011 Order denying the petition, the Court GRANTS Respondent's motion to withdraw his answer (docket no. 8).
This Order terminates Docket no. 8.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
