IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EL DORADO DIVISION

ROGER LEWIS COULTER PETITIONER

v. Case No. 01-1125

LARRY NORRIS, Director,

Arkansas Department of Corrections RESPONDENT

ORDER

Currently before the Court is Petitioner’s motion for order

permitting access to Petitioner for psychiatric and psychological

evaluations (Doc. 41), and Respondent’s response (Doc. 42). The

motion is DENIED as provided herein.

In the Court Order dated May 24, 2004, this Court dismissed the

single unexhausted claim (mental retardation claim) and stayed the

remaining exhausted claims, holding the petition in abeyance. (Doc.

28.) The stay was predicated on the condition that Petitioner

affirmatively seek relief on the unexhausted claim from the state of

Arkansas within 90 days of the date of the Order and that Petitioner

act within 90 days of the full exhaustion of the unexhausted claim

at the state level to seek to have the stay lifted by this Court on

the remaining claims. Id.

As of this date, Petitioner has not requested the Court to lift

the stay. Petitioner’s current motion appears to deal directly with

an attempt to support the dismissed mental retardation claim. The

current motion is not properly before this Court, as Petitioner’s

case is currently stayed and the mental retardation claim has been

dismissed. Therefore, the motion is DENIED.
