SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HASSIE MEGRAVE,

Petitioner,

CASE NO. 11-CV-2573

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT

vs. AND RECOMMENDATION

DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,

Respondent.

Megrave filed a § 2254 habeas petition on November 3, 2011. After receiving a

notice from the Court regarding a possible failure on his part to exhaust his claims in state

court, Megrave filed a motion for voluntary dismissal of his unexhausted claims on

December 29, 2011. On January 30, 2012, Magistrate Judge Lewis issued a Report and

Recommendation suggesting that Megrave’s motion be granted and that his habeas petition 

be dismissed without prejudice. Respondent subsequently filed a notice of non-opposition. 

The Court ADOPTS the R&R in its entirety. Megrave’s motion for voluntary dismissal

of his unexhausted claims is GRANTED, and his petition is DISMISSED WITHOUT

PREJUDICE. Respondent needn’t file an answer to Megrave’s petition at this time. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 15, 2012
