IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES K. GOLDSMITH,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0970 WBS DAD P

vs.

D.K. SISTO, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

On August 2, 2007, this court denied petitioner’s motions for stay and abeyance

and granted him leave to file a renewed motion within thirty days. On September 10, 2007,

petitioner filed a notice with the court alleging that he no longer wishes to pursue a motion for

stay and abeyance because he has since exhausted all of his claims. Petitioner also filed an

amended petition reflecting the alleged exhaustion.

Since petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed violation of constitutional

rights is proved, respondent will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s September 10, 2007

amended habeas petition.
