18 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

19 habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner’s petition for

20 a writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1), filed on December 12, 2005. “A petitioner for habeas corpus

21 relief must name the state officer having custody of him or her as the respondent to the petition.”

22 Stanley v. California Supreme Court, 21 F.3d 359, 360 (9th Cir. 1994); see also Rule 2(a),

23 Federal Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. Because petitioner has not named the appropriate

24 state officer, the petition must be dismissed with leave to amend to name the correct respondent.

25 See Stanley, 21 F.3d at 360. Petitioner is warned that failure to comply with this order may

26 result in the dismissal of this action. See Local Rule 11-110.
