UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MICHAEL BAZLEY, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

RICK HILL, Warden, 

Respondents. 

No. 2:13-cv-0814 AC P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner seeks habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On July 12, 2013, 

respondent moved to dismiss this action as premature because direct review was still pending in 

the state court. On July 19, 2013, petitioner opposed the motion. On July 25, 2013, respondent 

withdrew the pending motion to dismiss on the ground that on July 24, 2013, the California 

Supreme Court has denied a petition for review presented on petitioner’s behalf and petitioner’s 

direct appeal is no longer pending in the California Supreme Court. See ECF No. 16. Respondent 

requests the court to set a briefing schedule allowing respondent 30 days to file a responsive 

pleading. Good cause appearing, the request will be granted. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

 1. Having withdrawn the pending motion to dismiss, respondent is directed to file a 

response to petitioner’s habeas petition within thirty days from the date of this order. See Rule 4, 

28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254. An answer shall be accompanied by all transcripts and other documents 

relevant to the issues presented in the petition. See Rule 5, 28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254;

of non-opposition to the motion shall be filed and served within thirty days after service of the 

motion, and respondent’s reply, if any, shall be filed and served within fourteen days thereafter. 

DATED: July 29, 2013
