IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT FRANK SANCHEZ,

Petitioner,

 v.

A. A. LAMARQUE, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 03-00037 SI

ORDER RE: EXHAUSTION OF

PETITIONER’S CLAIM CONCERNING

GUILTY PLEA 

In a memorandum disposition filed December 14, 2005, the Ninth Circuit vacated this Court’s

August 17, 2004 Order Denying Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, and remanded for

further proceedings. The Ninth Circuit’s memorandum disposition states that petitioner’s claim that his

guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily made was not exhausted in state court proceedings, and

that it is unclear from the record whether the state expressly waived the exhaustion requirement. The

Ninth Circuit vacated the Court’s August 17, 2004 Order, and remanded for further proceedings

consistent with Cassett v. Stewart, 406 F.3d 614 (9th Cir. 2005), which establishes the appropriate

standard of review of unexhausted claims under the AEDPA.

Following remand, the Court conferred with the parties on further proceedings in this case.

Counsel informed the Court that, after a review of the record, it was determined that petitioner’s claim

concerning his guilty plea was exhausted in state court proceedings. The parties have signed a

stipulation setting forth the relevant facts regarding exhaustion, and attaching relevant portions of the

record. The parties’ stipulation and attached exhibits are attached and incorporated in this Order. 

Accordingly, in light of the fact that petitioner’s claim regarding his guilty plea has been

exhausted, there is no need for further proceedings in this Court. The Court shall enter a new Judgment
