CASSANDRA SELLARDS-RECK, Petitioner, v. DAVID SHOOK, et al. Respondents.
ORDER DECLINING TO SERVE HABEAS CORPUS PETITION
S. KATE VAUGHAN, United States Magistrate Judge
This is a federal habeas action filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and/or 25 U.S.C. § 1303. The Court, having reviewed the petition submitted by Petitioner's counsel, hereby finds that the petition is defective for the following reason:
(1) The petition has not been signed by Petitioner, nor has Petitioner's counsel provided a proper verification of the petition. The Court therefore declines to Order that the petition be served. Petitioner may either file a signature page for the petition, signed by Petitioner herself, or counsel for Petitioner may verify the petition on behalf of Petitioner, pursuant to LCR 100(e).
The signature page or verification shall be filed not later than twenty (20) days from the date on which this Order is signed and shall carry the same case number as the present petition. If Petitioner fails to timely comply with this Order, the Court will recommend dismissal of the petition.
(2) The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Order to Petitioner's counsel and to the Honorable Marsha J. Pechman.
