vs.

JOHN MARSHALL, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus. See 28

U.S.C. § 2254. On March 1, 2006, the court ordered that this action be stayed and held in

abeyance pending the outcome of petitioner’s state court habeas proceedings. The court directed

petitioner to notify this court of the California Supreme Court’s decision within 30 days of its

issuance. On March 30, 2007, petitioner requested an extension of time to notify the court that

the California Supreme Court had resolved his petition for a writ of habeas corpus and to request

the court to lift the stay imposed on March 1, 2006. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b). With this request,

not need the additional time he requests.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that petitioner’s March 30, 2007, request is denied as

unnecessary. 

Dated: May 21, 2007.
