MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Brown v. California, No. 2:12-cv-00217-MCE-AC (E.D. Cal. 2014):
7. Respondent contends petitioner's claim should be denied as conclusory because his federal habeas petition "consists of a single sentence without reference to the record or any document." ECF No. 17 at 15. However, based on petitioner's pro se status, the court construes his petition liberally and has carefully reviewed the record for facts that support his claim. See Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972).
