ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

WHY STAY SHOULD NOT BE VACATED

FOR FAILURE TO FILE STATUS REPORT

(Doc. 10)

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

PROCEDURAL HISTORY 

On November 5, 2004, Petitioner filed the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus in

the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. (Doc. 1). On March 24,

2005, pursuant to an order of the Court, Petitioner filed an amended petition. (Doc. 7). 

Also on March 24, 2005, Petitioner filed a motion to stay the instant habeas

proceedings in order to exhaust his state court remedies. (Doc. 8). On October 3, 2005, the

Court granted Petitioner’s motion for stay of proceedings. (Doc. 10). In that order, the Court

specified that Petitioner must file regular status reports concerning his efforts to exhaust state

court remedies. (Id.). Petitioner was ordered to file his first status report within thirty days and

to file regular status reports every sixty days thereafter. (Id.). Petitioner was cautioned that

failure to file regular status reports would result in the Court vacating the stay nunc pro tunc to

October 3, 2005. (Id.).

Petitioner duly filed his first status report on October 14, 2005. (Doc. 11). However,

Petitioner has failed to file any further status reports as required by the Court’s October 3, 2005

order. The next status report was due sixty days after the filing of the first status report, or on

December 14, 2005. 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty (30) days of the date of

service of this order, Petitioner must file a response to this order showing cause why the Court

should not vacate the stay nunc pro tunc to October 3, 2005 (Doc. 10), and permit the case to

proceed due to Petitioner’s failure to comply with the order of the Court that he provide status

reports concerning his efforts to exhaust state court remedies.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
