IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BERNARD LUJEAN WILDEE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0163 GEB DAD P

vs.

WARDEN FELKER, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

On April 4, 2007, petitioner filed a motion for stay and abeyance pending the

outcome of his petition for review before the California Supreme Court in connection with his

direct appeal. On April 12, 2007, petitioner notified the court that he had received notice that his

petition for review was summarily denied by the California Supreme Court on March 28, 2007. 

In light of that final decision from the state court, petitioner requested that these federal habeas

proceedings go forward. 

Good cause appearing, the court will deny petitioner’s motion for stay and

abeyance as moot. In addition, the court will grant petitioner leave to amend his application to

reflect his alleged exhaustion of state remedies. Petitioner is advised that an amended petition

supersedes the original petition and must be complete in itself without reference to the prior

petition.

Petitioner is also advised that the court requires all petitions for writ of habeas

corpus be filed on the proper form which is provided by this court. Moreover, the court may

limit its review of the petition for relief to the information on the form only and need not

consider any memoranda or attachments to the petition. See Rule 2(c), Rules Governing § 2254

Cases. If petitioner requires additional space, petitioner must continue responses as needed on

pages that follow the same format as the form and are clearly linked to the form by page number

or question number. Although petitioner may submit a separate memorandum to support his

petition for relief, petitioner is notified that the court's application form must contain all relevant

claims, and must provide the court with all necessary information. 

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s April 4, 2007 motion for stay and abeyance is denied as moot;

2. Petitioner's January 25, 2007 application for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed

with leave to file an amended petition within thirty days from the date of this order;

3. Any amended petition must be filed on the form employed by this court and

must state all claims and prayers for relief on the form. It must bear the case number assigned to

this action and must bear the title “Amended Petition”; and

4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner the form for habeas corpus

application. 

DATED: May 16, 2007.
