No. C 07-5577 CW (PR)

ORDER REOPENING CASE AND

VACATING ORDER CONSOLIDATING THE

PETITION WITH CASE NO. C 04-

04213 CW (PR)

Petitioner Stephen Liebb filed a pro se petition for a writ

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in Case No. C 07-

5577 CW (PR) challenging the Board of Parole Hearings' (BPH)

refusal to set a parole date at his fourth parole suitability

hearing on July 27, 2006. He also had pending before this Court

Case No. C 04-04213 CW (PR), a habeas corpus petition which

challenges the findings of the BPH at Petitioner's July 17, 2003

parole suitability hearing. 

In an Order dated January 22, 2008, the Court sua sponte

consolidated his petition in Case No. C 07-5577 CW (PR) with the

earlier one.

On January 29, 2008, Respondent filed an objection to the

Court's January 22, 2008 Order. Respondent claims that nowhere in

the petition in Case No. C 07-5577 CW (PR) does Petitioner "allege

that he presented his claims in the state court, provide any

information regarding any state court proceedings and the claims

he raised there, or argue that the state court's proceedings were

contrary to or an unreasonable application of clearly established

United States Supreme Court law." (Objection at 2.)

It appears that Petitioner may not have exhausted his state

remedies before filing the petition relating to his July 27, 2006

parole suitability hearing. (Pet. at 4-7.)

For this reason, the Court VACATES its January 22, 2008

Order. The Clerk of the Court shall REOPEN Case No. C 07-5577 CW

(PR). The Clerk shall file a copy of this Order in Case No. C 04-

4213 CW (PR), and shall serve a copy of this Order on the State

Attorney General who is listed as Respondent's counsel in Case No.

C 04-4213 CW (PR). The Clerk also shall send a copy of this Order

to Petitioner. 

The Court will review the petition filed in Case No. C 07-

5577 CW (PR) in a separate written order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
