IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EASTERN DIVISION

DEWAYNE NICHOLAS PETITIONER

Reg. #18318-074

 CASE NO.: 2:08CV00112 SWW/BD

T.C. OUTLAW, RESPONDENT

Warden, FCI- Forrest City, et al.

ORDER

Pending is Petitioner’s Motion to Stay his petition for writ of habeas corpus under

28 U.S.C. § 2241 (docket entry #6). Petitioner claims Gatewood v. T.C. Outlaw, CA 08-

2197 (8th Cir. filed May 29, 2008), now pending before the Court of Appeals for the

Eighth Circuit, will determine the outcome of his case. Petitioner requests a stay of his

petition pending a decision in Gatewood. The Respondent has not objected to the motion

to stay. Because the claim in this petition is similar to the claim in Gatewood, Petitioner’s

Motion to Stay is GRANTED. The Clerk of the Court is directed to administratively

terminate the case. The parties are directed to file a motion to reopen the case within

forty-five days of a mandate being issued by the Eighth Circuit in Gatewood. If a motion

to reopen the case is not filed by either party within forty-five days of the mandate, the

Court will dismiss the petition with prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 3rd of July, 2008.
