Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1), the parties have consented to

the jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge. 

On December 2, 2005, the Court granted Petitioner’s motion to stay and hold the petition

in abeyance pending exhaustion in the state courts. (Court Doc. 39.) 

On September 26, 2007, Petitioner filed a motion requesting that the stay be lifted, along

with a first amended petition. (Court Docs. 55, 57, 58.) Petitioner indicates that the California

Supreme Court denied his petition for writ of habeas corpus on June 13, 2007. 

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The stay of the instant petition is VACATED; 

2. Within forty-five (45) days from the date of service of this order, Respondent

shall file a response to the first amended petition;
