ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO FILE

AMENDED PETITION [Doc. 17]

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE

PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR A STAY

[Doc. 25]

Petitioner is a prisoner proceeding with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. Section 2254. On June 11, 2007, Petitioner filed a motion to amend his petition, and lodged

his proposed amended petition. Petitioner states on the first page of his amended petition that the

only change to the original petition is the addition of Ground Eleven. The proposed amended

petition lodged with the court contained proof of service of both the motion to amend and the

proposed amended petition on Respondent. However, Respondent states in an inquiry filed with the

court on July 18, 2007, that he did not receive either the motion or the proposed amended petition.. 

Respondent filed an answer to the original petition on August 21, 2007.
