PAUL EDWIN GAUL, No. CIV S-05-1133-DFL-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER,

et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion for a stay of proceedings

(Doc. 19), filed on January 16, 2007. 

Plaintiff, who is challenging the denial of parole, was recently granted parole by

the California Board of Prison Terms. That decision has been submitted to the governor for

review. Plaintiff states that, if the parole decision is ratified by the governor, this action will be

moot. Plaintiff seeks a stay of these proceedings pending a decision from the governor, which is

anticipated to be announced by March 30, 2007. Defendants have filed a statement of nonopposition to plaintiff’s motion. Good cause appearing therefor, the motion will be granted. All

proceedings in this matter shall be stayed until March 30, 2007. Plaintiff will be required to file

a status report after expiration of the stay advising this court of the governor’s decision. If no

decision has been made, plaintiff shall seek by motion to extend the stay. Plaintiff is warned that

failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this action for lack of prosecution

and failure to comply with court rules and orders. See Local Rule 11-110. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s unopposed motion for a stay of proceedings (Doc. 19) is

granted;

2. All proceedings in this case are stayed until March 30, 2007; and

3. Within 30 days after expiration of the stay, plaintiff shall file either a

status report advising this court of the governor’s decision or, if no decision has been reached by

that time, a motion to extend the stay for a reasonable period of time.

DATED: January 24, 2007.
