U.S.C. § 2254. 

Petitioner filed the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus on July 25, 2003. Petitioner filed

an amended petition on October 3, 2003. By order of February 13, 2004, Respondent was directed to

file a response. Respondent filed a motion to dismiss on April 19, 2004, based on the failure to exhaust

Grounds Three, Four and Five. On June 7, 2004, the undersigned issued a Report and Recommendation

the court did not grant a stay pending exhaustion in state court. On September 9, 2004, the Honorable

Anthony W. Ishii issued an order adopting the Report and Recommendation and denied to issue a ruling

on staying the petition as there had been no properly captioned request. The court ordered that any

request for a stay to hold the petition in abeyance shall be filed within thirty days from the date of service

of that order. On September 22, 2004, Petitioner filed a motion to stay the second amended petition

while Grounds Three, Four, and Five are exhausted in the California Supreme Court. Respondent filed

an opposition on September 30, 2004. Pursuant to the Court’s October 15, 2004 order, this case was

stayed pending exhaustion of at the state court. 

The Court has granted Petitioner’s requests to extend the stay. On July 22, 2005, Petitioner filed

a motion to withdraw the second amended petition and proceed on the first amended petition as all of

those claims have now been exhausted. Petitioner’s request shall be granted and Respondent will be

ordered to file a further response to the amended petition.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s request to withdraw the second amended petition is GRANTED and the

second amended petition shall be STRICKEN from the record;

2. Within forty-five (45) days from the date of service of this order Respondent shall file

a response to the first amended petition in accordance with the Court’s February 13,

2004, order;

3. Within thirty (30) days from the date Respondent files its response, Petitioner may file

an opposition or traverse as set forth in the Court’s February 13, 2004; and

4. All other provisions set forth in the Court’s February 13, 2004, remain in full force and

effect.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
