petitioner’s trial counsel voluntarily, he must so inform the court in a status report within 15 days

of his receipt of the information. 

3. Should he receive the information sought voluntarily and should he elect to

proceed on an amended petition of exhausted claims only, the amended petition must be filed

within 60 days of receiving the information, 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 30 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. 

4. Should petitioner identify unexhausted claims which petitioner will seek to

exhaust, petitioner shall file an amended petition, within 60 days of voluntary receipt of the

information as stated above in # 2, 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

petitioner 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 the

same 60-day time frame; 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.

5. Should respondent object to any motion for a stay of proceedings by petitioner

to pursue unexhausted claims, respondent must file any opposition to such a motion within 30

days of service thereof; thereafter, petitioner has 15 days to file any reply.
