UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VINCENT ANDREW PEREZ,

Petitioner,

v.

C. CHRONES, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 06-00846 AWI DLB HC

ORDER VACATING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION FILED JULY 23, 2007

AND CONTINUING STAY AND ABEYANCE

OF PETITION

[Doc. 29]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On February 7, 2007, the Court granted Petitioner’s motion for stay and abeyance. (Court

Doc. 24.) Pursuant to that order, Petitioner was directed to file an initial status report within

thirty days from the date of service and every ninety days thereafter. On March 9, 2007 and

March 23, 2007, respectively, Petitioner filed a motion for an extension of time to file the initial

status report. (Court Docs. 25, 26.) The Court granted Petitioner’s motion for an extension of

time on April 3, 2007, and the status report was due within thirty days from the date of service.

(Court Doc. 27.) Petitioner failed to file a response. 

Accordingly, on May 30, 2007, the Court issued an order to show cause why the stay

should not be vacated. (Court Doc. 28.) Petitioner again failed to file a response.

On July 23, 2007, the Court issued Findings and Recommendation that the action be

dismissed for Petitioner’s failure to comply with a court order. (Court Doc. 29.)

Petitioner filed objections to the Findings and Recommendation on August 2, 2007 and

August 15, 2007, respectively. (Court Docs. 30, 32.) In addition, on August 3, 2007, Petitioner

filed a status report. (Court Doc. 31.)

In his objections, Petitioner states that he has been on lock-down status and despite his

diligent efforts has been unable to file a response to the Court’s orders. 

In his status report, Petitioner states that he has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus

in the California Supreme Court on July 26, 2007. (Court Doc. 31.) 

On the basis of GOOD CAUSE, the Court will vacate the Findings and Recommendation

filed July 23, 2007, and will re-instate the stay and abeyance of the instant petition. Although the

Court is mindful of Petitioner’s status as an incarcerated prison, Petitioner is forewarned that he

must demonstrate diligent compliance with any and all Court orders. 

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendation filed July 23, 2007, is VACATED; 

2. The instant petition is stayed and will be held in abeyance;

3. Within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, Petitioner shall file

a further status report; 

4. Every ninety (90) days thereafter, Petitioner shall file status report as to the status

of the state court filings; and

5. All other provisions of the Court’s February 7, 2007, order remain in full force

and effect. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
