UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
RESUL DUZENLI,
Petitioner,
v.

Respondent.

Petitioner, proceeding through counsel, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. 	Respondent is directed to file an answer/return within 14 days from the date of this
order. If an answer/return is filed, respondent shall include with the answer/return any and all
transcripts or other documents relevant to the determination of the issues presented in the
application.
2. 	Petitioner’s reply/traverse, if any, is due within 7 days after being served a copy of
respondent’s answer/return.
