Disposition notice

On October 13, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California entered judgment against petitioner Evan Teek Nakahara and in favor of respondent Chance Andes, Warden of California State Prison at San Quentin, in Case No. CV 05-4604 PA. The one-page judgment states that, pursuant to a simultaneously issued order, Nakahara’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus is denied and that the order constitutes the court’s final disposition of the petition. The Clerk was ordered to enter the judgment. The judgment itself contains no developed reasoning and points to the simultaneously issued Order Denying Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus for the underlying decision; that order is not included in the supplied source packet.
