UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On November 9, 2011 this Court granted the motion of Petitioner Joseph Martin Danks

(“Danks”) to hold federal proceedings in abeyance during exhaustion of his state remedies before the 

California Supreme Court. Dank’s state exhaustion petition was filed on September 13, 2011. 

Following a request from the California Supreme Court, on December 9, 2011 the People of the State 

of California filed an informal response. On June 22, 2012, Danks filed his reply to the informal 

response. 

Danks is now directed to file quarterly status reports advising this Court of significant 

developments in his state court case during its pendency, with the first to be filed December 1, 2013.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
