MEMORANDUM OPINION
Petitioner is a California state prisoner who has submitted a form “Petition for Writ of
Habeas Corpus,” which is comprised of incoherent statements. “Similar to the plaintiff” 5 prior
actions, this action is difficult to comprehend.” Dunlap v. Dep ’t of Review Board, No. 14-0145,
2014 WL 414156 (D.D.C. Jan. 30, 2014), citing Dunlap v. Board ofPrison Hearings, No. 1:08-
cv-1770, 2009 WL 1759651, at *3 (ED. Cal. Jun. 22, 2009) (dismissing amended habeas
petition presenting “the same incomprehensible allegations [stated] on three separate [prior]
occasions”). Dismissal is warranted first because the named court is not the proper respondent to
address the habeas petition. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 US. 426, 439-42 (2004) (applying
“immediate custodian rule”). Second, unlike the requirements for pleading a civil action, “Rule
2(c) of the Rules Governing Habeas Corpus Cases requires a more detailed statement. The
habeas rule instructs the petitioner to ‘specify all the grounds for relief available to him’ and to
‘state the facts supporting each ground.’ ” Mayle v. Felix, 545 US. 644, 649 (2005) (footnote
and internal alteration omitted). The lodged petition co where near satisfying the habeas
pleading standard. A separate Order of dismi this Memorandum Opinion.
