UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEPHEN BOYLE,

Petitioner,

CASE NO. 16cv469 DMS (PCL)

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND

v. RECOMMENDATION

SCOTT KERNAN, Secretary,

Respondent.

On February 19, 2016, Petitioner Stephen Boyle (“Petitioner”), a state prisoner

proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On the same day, Petitioner filed a motion to stay federal

proceedings. On August 11, 2016, Magistrate Judge Peter C. Lewis issued a Report

and Recommendation (“R&R”), recommending that the Court deny Petitioner’s motion

to stay. Petitioner filed objections to the R&R on August 26, 2016. 

This Court, having reviewed de novo the Magistrate Judge’s R&R and

Petitioner’s objections, adopts the R&R in its entirety. Petitioner’s motion to stay is 1

The R&R states that Petitioner filed his federal habeas petition “over a year 1

after his conviction became final[,]” suggesting the Petition is untimely. (R&R at 4-5.) 

However, this Court notes that the Petition is timely. Petitioner’s conviction became

final, and the one-year limitations period under Antiterrorism and Effective Death

Penalty Act began to run on February 23, 2015, 90 days after the California Supreme

Court denied his petition for review on November 25, 2014. See 28 U.S.C. §

2244(d)(1); Bowen v. Roe, 188 F.3d 1157, 1159 (9th Cir. 1999). Therefore, Petitioner

had until February 23, 2016 to file his Petition, which he timely filed on February 19,

2016.
