IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID MICHAEL GRAVES,

Petitioner,

 v.

THOMAS CAREY, Warden

Respondent. /

No. C 01-03502 SI

ORDER RE: STAY

On September 17, 2001, petitioner David Michael Graves filed a petition for writ of habeas

corpus, challenging his convictions for murder and attempted murder. Currently pending is petitioner’s

October 11, 2006, motion for leave to request reconsideration of both the dismissal of the second

amended petition and the Court’s limitation of the third amended petition to just one claim. The Court

has stayed consideration of this motion pending resolution of an issue raised in petitioner’s second

amended habeas petition – whether California’s timeliness rule is an adequate procedural bar – that was

also pending before the Ninth Circuit in another case, King v. Lamarque, No. 05-15757. King has now

been remanded to this Court, and the King parties have set an extended briefing schedule on the issue.

Once the issue is fully briefed in the King case, this Court will consider petitioner’s motion for

reconsideration here. The Court therefore STAYS this case until the issue has been fully briefed by the

parties in King. Mr. Graves does not need to file anything with this Court until further notice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 21, 2007
