Perez v. Parker

Summary

The document is an order and findings and recommendations in a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas action challenging the denial of 138 days of presentencing custody credits. The magistrate judge recommends summary dismissal because the petition duplicates a pending habeas action concerning the same conviction and claim. The court grants the petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis and directs random assignment to a district judge.

Holdings

1. The magistrate judge recommended summary dismissal because the petition duplicated the pending federal habeas action Belyew v. Parker, No. 2:19-cv-0294-DAD-AC, which challenged the same conviction and presentencing custody-credit issue.
2. The court granted petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the § 2254 petition should be summarily dismissed as duplicative of a pending federal habeas action involving the same conviction and presentencing-credit claim.
2. Whether the petitioner should be granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

Disposition
