Petitioner, a state prisoner, has filed this petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

On June 23, 2008, the Court issued an Order granting Petitioner's request for a stay of

proceedings while he returned to state court to exhaust his administrative remedies. On June 30,

2009, Petitioner informed the Court that his state proceedings had concluded, and he filed a first

amended habeas petition containing his exhausted claims.

Before the Court are Petitioner's implied motions to lift the stay and for leave to file his first

amended petition. 

Good cause appearing, Petitioner's implied motion to lift the stay is GRANTED. Petitioner

is also GRANTED leave to file his first amended petition. The Clerk of the Court is directed to

mark Petitioner's first amended petition as filed on June 30, 2009, the date it was received.

The Clerk of the Court shall REOPEN this case and serve a copy of this Order and the first

amended petition and all attachments thereto upon Respondent and Respondent's attorney, the

Attorney General of the State of California. The Clerk shall also serve a copy of this Order on

Petitioner at his most current address. 

Respondent shall file with this Court and serve upon Petitioner, within sixty (60) days of the

issuance of this Order, an answer conforming in all respects to Rule 5 of the Rules Governing

If Petitioner wishes to respond to the answer, he shall do so by filing a traverse with the

Court and serving it on Respondent within thirty (30) days of his receipt of the answer. Otherwise,

the petition will be deemed submitted and ready for decision thirty days after the date Petitioner is

served with Respondent's answer. Petitioner is reminded that all communications with the Court,

whether by way of formal legal motions or informal letters, must be served on Respondent by

mailing a true copy of the document to Respondent's counsel. 

Extensions of time are not favored, though reasonable extensions will be granted. Any

motion for an extension of time must be filed no later than seven (7) days prior to the deadline

sought to be extended.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
