UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT J. BUSTILLOS,

Petitioner,

 vs.

PELICAN BAY STATE PRISON, 

Respondent. /

No. C 08-1262 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This is a habeas case brought pro se by a state prisoner. The Amended Petition

was dismissed with leave to amend because it appeared from petitioner’s allegations that

he had not exhausted state judicial remedies. Although petitioner has written several

letters to the court, he has not filed a second amended petition and does not say in the

letters that he has exhausted. This case therefore is DISMISSED for failure to exhaust. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b) (exhaustion requirement); Cartwright v. Cupp, 650 F.2d 1103,

1104 (9th Cir. 1981) (petitioner has burden of pleading exhaustion). The clerk shall close

the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 2, 2010.
