ORDER DENYING RESPONDENT'S MOTION TO MODIFY STAY ORDER—No. C-04-03925 RMW

JAH

E-FILED on 7/28/06

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

ROCKY RYAN HUNT,

Petitioner,

v.

A.A. LAMARQUE, Warden,

Respondent.

No. C-04-03925 RMW

ORDER DENYING RESPONDENT'S

MOTION TO MODIFY STAY ORDER

[Re Docket No. 25]

The court previously granted petitioner's motion to stay this action for him to pursue a habeas

petition before the California Supreme Court. Respondent did not oppose the motion, and now

seeks modification of the stay order. Respondent's counsel attempts to justify its request by stating

that "[a]s a usual practice in our office, we do not file an opposition to the motion for stay absent a

request" for a response from the district court. Lee Decl. ¶ 3. Given such purposeful action on the

part of respondent's counsel, the court will not entertain objections to the stay order now. 

Respondent's motion to modify the stay order is denied. As a practical matter, nothing in the

existing stay order is intended to preclude a motion or contention by respondent that any amended

claim does not relate back to the time of filing of the original petition.
