No. C 15-0496 RMW (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Petitioner, a California state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks a writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging the criminal judgment he sustained in 2001 in the

Superior Court of Alameda County by raising the claim that Proposition 47 should apply to

reduce his convictions and sentence. Petitioner concedes that he has not raised any claims in the

California Supreme Court. On June 12, 2015, the court issued an order to petitioner to show

cause why the petition should not be dismissed for failure to exhaust state remedies. On June 22,

2015, petitioner filed a response, and moved for voluntary dismissal of this case. Accordingly,

this case is DISMISSED. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1). The Clerk of the court shall terminate all

pending motions and deadlines and close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
