MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Vince Chhabria on 8/19/2026: Petitioner's 13 Motion for Discovery is DENIED. "A habeas petitioner, unlike the usual civil litigant in federal court, is not entitled to discovery as a matter of ordinary course." Bracy v. Gramley, 520 U.S. 899, 904 (1997) (internal quotation marks omitted). Rather, "where specific allegations before the court show reason to believe that the petitioner may, if the facts are fully developed, be able to demonstrate that he is confined illegally and is therefore entitled to relief, it is the duty of the court to provide the necessary facilities and procedures for an adequate inquiry." Harris v. Nelson, 394 U.S. 286, 300 (1969). The instant motion does not identify what documents Respondents must produce, nor explain how they could demonstrate that Petitioner is illegally confined. As such, Petitioner has not shown he is entitled to discovery. However, the parties are encouraged to resolve this matter informally and expeditiously as it appears that these documents are in Petitioner's possession, and simply need to be transported to counsel. Accordingly, the Court will grant leave for Petitioner to file a late reply to provide time for further communication between counsel and Petitioner. Petitioner may file his reply on or before 9/2/2026. (Text Only Entry) (Thomas, Julia) (Entered: 08/19/2026)
