following ORDERS:

1. Should petitioner elect to proceed on an amended petition of exhausted claims 

only, the amended petition must be filed within 45 days along with any memorandum of points

and authorities; if such an amended petition is filed and served, respondent must file an answer

or dispositive motion within 45 days thereafter; petitioner must file any reply or opposition, as

appropriate, within 30 days of service of respondent’s responsive pleading; if respondent filed a

motion, respondent will have 15 days after service of an opposition to file a reply.

2. Should petitioner identify unexhausted claims which he will seek to exhaust,

petitioner shall file an amended petition setting forth all claims, exhausted and unexhausted, and 

shall demonstrate good cause for having failed to exhaust state court remedies as to any claim

which he would seek to exhaust. Petitioner shall move the court to hold the proceedings in

abeyance pending exhaustion of state court remedies as to the unexhausted claims, within 45

days; if a stay is ultimately granted, petitioner must immediately pursue state court exhaustion,

that is, within 30 days of the granting of a stay, and, upon said exhaustion in state court, within

30 days, proceed upon the amended petition in federal court.

3. Since respondent may object to any motion for a stay to pursue unexhausted

claims, he must file any opposition to a motion for a stay pending exhaustion of unexhausted

claims within 30 days of service of any motion to stay the proceedings by petitioner; thereafter,

petitioner has 15 days to file any reply.

4. If petitioner intends to make a motion for leave to conduct discovery under the

Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, Rule 6(a), petitioner must do so within 30 days; if

respondent opposes any such motion he must do so within 15 days thereafter; petitioner’s reply,

if any, must be filed within 7 days of any opposition by respondent.

5. If petitioner chooses to move for an evidentiary hearing, he must do so at the

earliest appropriate opportunity.
