MDR 

WO 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

United States of America, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

Ysidro Juan Valdez, 

Defendant/Movant. 

No. CV 13-2557-PHX-DGC (LOA) 

 CR 11-2492-PHX-DGC 

ORDER 

 Movant Ysidro Juan Valdez, who is confined in the Corrections Corporation of 

America’s Central Arizona Detention Center in Florence, Arizona, has filed a pro se

Petition for Post-Conviction Relief, which the Court will construe as a Motion Under 28 

U.S.C. § 2255 to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence by a Person in Federal Custody.1

 

The Court will summarily deny the Petition. 

 On September 9, 2013, Movant filed a Notice of Appeal (Doc. 180) to the United 

States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from the judgment of conviction and 

sentence. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has instructed the 

district courts that they should not entertain § 2255 motions while there is a direct appeal 

pending in either the Ninth Circuit or the Supreme Court. United States v. Deeb, 944 

F.2d 545, 548 (9th Cir. 1991); Feldman v. Henman, 815 F.2d 1318, 1320 (9th Cir. 1987); 

see also United States v. Pirro, 104 F.3d 297, 299 (9th Cir. 1997); Rule 5, Rules

 The Petition is filed on a form for filing a state-court petition for post-conviction relief.

Governing Section 2255 Proceedings for the United States District Courts, Advisory 

Comm. Note (1976) (absent extraordinary circumstances, the orderly administration of 

criminal justice precludes a district court from considering a § 2255 motion while review 

of the direct appeal is still pending). Accordingly, Movant’s Petition will be denied 

without prejudice pending resolution of Movant’s direct appeal. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Petition for Post-Conviction Relief 

(Doc. 195 in CR 11-2492-PHX-DGC) is denied and that the civil action opened in 

connection with this Motion (CV 13-2557-PHX-DGC (LOA)) is dismissed without 

prejudice. The Clerk of Court must enter judgment accordingly. 

Dated this 15th day of January, 2014.
