file any reply or opposition, as appropriate, within 45 days of service of respondent’s responsive

pleading; if respondent filed a motion, respondent will have 30 days after service of an

4. Should petitioner identify unexhausted claims which petitioner will seek to

exhaust, petitioner shall file an amended petition by December 17, 2007, setting forth all claims,

exhausted and unexhausted, and shall demonstrate good cause for having failed to exhaust state

court remedies as to any claim which petitioner would seek to exhaust. Petitioner shall move the

court to hold the proceedings in abeyance pending exhaustion of state court remedies as to the

unexhausted claims on December 17, 2007; if a stay is ultimately granted, petitioner must

immediately pursue state court exhaustion, that is, within 30 days of the granting of a stay, and,

upon said exhaustion in state court, within 30 days, proceed upon the amended petition in federal

court.

5. Should respondent object to any motion for a stay of proceedings by petitioner

to pursue unexhausted claims, respondent must file any opposition to such a motion within 30

days of service thereof; thereafter, petitioner has 15 days to file any reply.

6. If petitioner intends to make a motion for leave to conduct discovery under the

Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, Rule 6(a), petitioner must do so within 60 days; if

respondent opposes any such motion respondent must do so within 30 days thereafter;

petitioner’s reply, if any, must be filed within 15 days of any opposition by respondent.
