United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERNEST EDWARD DYKES,

Petitioner,

v.

RON DAVIS, 

Respondent.

Case No. 11-cv-04454-SI 

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO LIFT 

STAY

Re: Dkt. No. 40

Respondent has filed a motion to lift the stay imposed by this Court pending the resolution

of an appeal filed in Jones v. Chappell, 31 F.Supp. 3d 1050 (C.D. Cal. July 16, 2014). Respondent 

asserts that the stay should be lifted because the Ninth Circuit decided the Jones appeal on August 

31, 2015, and a petition for rehearing en banc was denied on February 8, 2016. Petitioner does 

not oppose the lifting of the stay. 

Because the Jones matter has been resolved, the Court hereby GRANTS Respondent’s 

motion. The Court directs the parties to submit a joint case management statement within 30

days of the date of this Order. Any issues pertaining to the due-date for a traverse may be 

addressed in the joint statement.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 16, 2016
