ORDER LIFTING STAY AND

DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO SHOW

CAUSE WHY THE WRIT SHOULD NOT

BE GRANTED

Petitioner, a state prisoner, has filed this petition for a

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On June 23, 2009, 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 September

3, 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 motion to lift the stay and

his implied motion for leave to file his first amended petition. 

Good cause appearing, Petitioner's 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 September 3, 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.
