IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUGENE VIRGIL HALL,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-2552 DAD P

vs.

M.D. McDONALD, Warden, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On November 25, 2009, respondent filed a motion to dismiss the petition pending

before the court on the ground that it contains claims that have not been exhausted. Specifically,

respondent argues that certain sub-issues raised in petitioner’s claims one and three of the

petition are unexhausted and that claims six and seven of the petition are completely

unexhausted. In response to respondent’s motion to dismiss, petitioner has filed a motion to

amend his petition. Therein, petitioner seeks leave to withdraw the same sub-issues and claims

that respondent has argued are unexhausted. Respondent has not opposed or otherwise filed a

response to petitioner’s motion to amend.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within twenty days of the

date of this order, respondent shall file an opposition or a statement of non-opposition to

if granted, would not render respondent’s motion to dismiss moot.
