 It did not appear that petitioner had exhausted any claims and a fully unexhausted

federal habeas petition may not be stayed and must be dismissed. See, e.g., Rasberry v.

Garcia, 448 F.3d 1150, 1154 (9th Cir. 2006).

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUREKA DIVISION

KEVIN BRIGGS,

Petitioner,

 v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

Respondent. /

No. C 15-1853 NJV (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This case was opened when petitioner wrote a letter to the court regarding a habeas

petition. Petitioner sought a stay but did not filed a petition. In an effort to protect

Petitioner’s rights, the court opened a new case. Petitioner was informed that he had not

filed a petition and was given twenty-eight days to do so. A copy of the court's habeas

corpus form was provided along with a return envelope. 

Petitioner has not filed a petition and a brief letter with no details is insufficient to

warrant a stay.1

 This case is therefore DISMISSED without prejudice and a certificate of

appealability is DENIED. No fee is due. The clerk shall close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 1, 2015.
