UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Petitioner is proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

2254. 

On November 30, 2012, Respondent filed an answer to the instant petition for writ of habeas 

corpus. 

On January 17, 2013, the Court directed Respondent to lodge a copy of the transcript of the 

voir dire proceedings. The transcript was lodged with the Court under seal on January 25, 2013. 

After granting Petitioner extensions of time to file a traverse, Petitioner filed a motion to stay 

the proceedings on June 7, 2013 and June 13, 2013. On June 13, 2013, Petitioner also filed a motion 

for leave to file an amended petition, which was lodged by the Court. 

Because Respondent has filed an answer in the instant action and Petitioner has opted to file a 

motion to stay the proceedings in lieu of a traverse, the Court finds that the interest of justice would be 

served by Respondent filing a response to Petitioner’s motion to stay the proceedings.
