CHARLES DAVID GORDON,

Petitioner,

v.

JOE A. LIZARRAGA,

Respondent.

Case No. 12-cv-00769-PJH 

ORDER LIFTING STAY

Pursuant to the October 16, 2018, Order granting the motion for stay and 

abeyance pending resolution of the state habeas petition to exhaust state court remedies 

as to claims 2, 9, 12 and 14 of the federal petition, and upon notification by petitioner 

Charles David Gordon, known as Angie Denise Gordon, that the California Supreme 

Court denied her petition for writ of habeas corpus, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the 

stay is LIFTED and the federal habeas proceedings are REOPENED.

Because petitioner presented new evidence in support of her unexhausted claims 

in the traverse, after respondent had already filed an answer in response to the Order to 

Show Cause, additional briefing will be limited to the issues raised in the traverse by the 

evidence of her gender dysphoria diagnosis and treatment in support of claims 2, 9, 12 

and 14. IT IS ORDERED that within 56 days of the date of this order, respondent must 

file a supplemental answer addressing the presentation to the state court of the evidence 

of petitioner’s gender dysphoria diagnosis and treatment in support of claims 2, 9, 12 and 

14 and the merits of those previously unexhausted claims. If petitioner wishes to respond 

to the supplemental answer, she shall do so by filing a supplemental traverse within
