Petitioner, ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO AMEND RESPONDENT v. [Doc. 20] TAMMY CAMPBELL, Warden, Respondent.

The warden at Corcoran State Prison is Tammy Campbell. The warden of the prison in which the petitioner is incarcerated is the proper respondent because the warden has "day-to-day control over" the petitioner. Brittingham v. United States, 982 F.2d 378, 379 (9th Cir. 1992). Good cause having been presented, Petitioner’s motion to amend Respondent to Tammy Campbell is GRANTED. IT IS SO ORDERED.
