2. Should petitioner identify unexhausted claims which he will seek to exhaust,

petitioner shall file an amended petition setting forth all claims, exhausted and unexhausted, and 

shall demonstrate good cause for having failed to exhaust state court remedies as to any claim

which he would seek to exhaust. Petitioner shall move the court to hold the proceedings in

abeyance pending exhaustion of state court remedies as to the unexhausted claims, within 45

days; if a stay is ultimately granted, petitioner must immediately pursue state court exhaustion,

that is, within 30 days of the granting of a stay, and, upon said exhaustion in state court, within

30 days, proceed upon the amended petition in federal court.

3. Should respondent object to any motion for a stay of proceedings by petitioner

to pursue unexhausted claims, respondent must file any opposition to such a motion within 30

days of service thereof; thereafter, petitioner has 15 days to file any reply.

4. If petitioner intends to make a motion for leave to conduct discovery under the

Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, Rule 6(a), petitioner must do so within 30 days; if

respondent opposes any such motion he must do so within 15 days thereafter; petitioner’s reply,

if any, must be filed within 7 days of any opposition by respondent.

5. If petitioner chooses to move for an evidentiary hearing, he must do so at the

earliest appropriate opportunity; should petitioner file a motion for an evidentiary hearing, as

respondent anticipates opposing any such motion, respondent must file any opposition within 30

days of service of the motion, and petitioner must file any reply within 15 days of service of any

opposition.
