UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GAVIN B. DAVIS,

Petitioner,

v.

CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL,

Respondent.

Case No.: 19cv2263-LAB (MDD)

ORDER ON NOTICE OF 

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL;

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

STAY [Dkt. 15]

Petitioner Gavin Davis, a California probationer challenging a state conviction 

arising from a guilty plea, filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2254. On January 27, 2019, Davis moved to stay this action while he pursues a writ of 

certiorari to the United States Supreme Court related to his underlying state conviction. 

Dkt. 15. He then filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, apparently deciding that dismissing 

the action without prejudice was preferable to a stay. Because Respondents have not yet 

filed a response to his habeas petition, Davis may dismiss the action unilaterally. FRCP 

41(a)(1)(A)(i). As such, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as to all 

Respondents. Davis’s Motion to Stay is DENIED AS MOOT. Dkt. 15. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 4, 2020

Hon. Larry Alan Burns
