If the challenge is to the authority for confinement, the petition shall state, in substance:

(3)

The cause or pretense of the imprisonment or restraint, according to the best knowledge or belief of the plaintiff.

(4)

If the original imprisonment or restraint is by virtue of any order, warrant or process, a copy thereof shall be annexed to the petition, or it must be alleged that, by reason of the removal or concealment of the party before the application, a demand of such copy could not be made, or that the demand was made, and the legal fees therefor tendered to the person having the party in custody, and that a copy was refused.

Notes of Decisions

Director of Department of Corrections is proper defendant in petition for writ of habeas corpus by transferred inmate in physical custody of receiving state pursuant to Interstate Corrections Compact under ORS 421.245 because sending state retains sole authority to remove inmate from conditions of which inmate complains and inmate remains in constructive custody of sending state.
