UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LUIS CALDERON,

Petitioner,

v.

FREDERIC FOULKS,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00276-LJO-SAB-HC

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATION (ECF No. 12),

DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR 

A RHINES STAY, AND GRANTING 

PETITIONER’S REQUEST TO PROCEED 

WITH KELLY STAY

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On May 11, 2016, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and 

Recommendation that recommended denying Petitioner’s motion for stay pursuant to Rhines v. 

Weber, 544 U.S. 269 (2005), but allowing Petitioner to proceed with the stay procedure set forth 

in Kelly v. Small, 315 F.3d 1063 (9th Cir. 2002). (ECF No. 12). On July 14, 2016, Petitioner 

filed his concurrence with the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation. (ECF No. 15).

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted 

a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes that 

the Findings and Recommendation is supported by the record and proper analysis, and there is no 

need to modify the Findings and Recommendation.
