IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL E. SCHINKEL,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-2247 FCD DAD P

vs.

BOARD OF PAROLE HEARINGS, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas

corpus, challenging the Board of Parole Hearings’ 2007 decision to deny him parole. 

On March 30, 2010, petitioner filed a motion, requesting a stay of these

proceedings pending issuance of the mandate in Hayward v. Marshall, 512 F.3d 536 (9th Cir.

2008), reh’g en banc granted, 527 F.3d 797 (9th Cir. May 16, 2008). In the alternative, petitioner

requests a thirty-day extension of time to file a traverse.

After a review of the record and the relevant case law, this court concludes that

petitioner’s motion for a stay of these proceedings should be denied. See Landis v. North

American Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936) (a district court has broad discretion in deciding

whether to stay proceedings in its own court). However, the court will grant petitioner a final

thirty-day extension of time to file a traverse.
