The following excerpt is from Ellis v. Diaz, Case No. 1:20-cv-00134-EPG-HC (E.D. Cal. 2020):
Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases requires preliminary review of a habeas petition and allows a district court to dismiss a petition before the respondent is ordered to file a response, if it "plainly appears from the petition and any attached exhibits that the petitioner is not entitled to relief in the district court." See McFarland v. Scott, 512 U.S. 849, 856 (1994).
