IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HERMAN GARCIA SANDOVAL,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0004 FCD KJM P

vs.

JAMES TILTON, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prison inmate proceeding pro se with a petition for a writ of

habeas corpus. On April 10, 2007, the court denied petitioner’s request for a stay of the

proceedings to allow him to exhaust claims in the state courts and ordered respondent to file a

response to the petition. On April 17, 2007 petitioner filed a renewed motion for a stay and on

July 10, 2007, filed a supplement to the request. 

On August 17, 2007, the court issued an order to show cause, directing

respondent to file an answer and a response to the request for a stay. On August 21, 2007,

respondent filed a response to the request for a stay, saying he has no objection to a stay being

entered to allow petitioner to exhaust the claims identified in the April 17 and July 10, 2007

motions.
