IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DWAIN D. MOORE,

Petitioner, 2:06-cv-0119-GEB-GGH-P

vs.

WARDEN CAMPBELL, et al.,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was referred to a United States

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local General Order No. 262.

On March 2, 2007, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations

herein which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any

objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within twenty days. Neither

party has filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

The magistrate judge recommended that petitioner’s request to stay this action

pending exhaustion of his ineffective assistance of counsel claim be denied. The magistrate

judge ordered petitioner to inform the court how he wished to proceed as to his exhausted claim

alleging jury instruction error.

assistance of counsel claim is denied;
