Petitioner-Appellant,
No. 06-1249
v.
(D . Colo.)
Respondents-Appellees.
OR DER
Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases provides that [t]he
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to the extent that they are not inconsistent with
any statutory provisions or these rules, may be applied to a proceeding under
these rules. See also Sloan v. Pugh, 351 F.3d 1319, 1322 (10th Cir. 2003); Fed.
R. Civ. P. 81(a)(2). Although Rule 2 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases
does address to some extent what a habeas petitioner should include in his 2254
petition, that Rule is not inconsistent with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)s requirement of a
short and plain statement of the petitioner's claim.
