UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL RAYMOND SUA,

Petitioner,

CASE NO. 07cv1338 JM(BLM)

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

vs. STAY WITHOUT PREJUDICE

JAMES TILTON,

Respondent.

On or about February 26, 2010, the court received from Petitioner a motion to stay these

proceedings. The court denies the motion without prejudice because the court is divested of subject

matter jurisdiction to entertain Petitioner’s merits-based motion. This action is presently on appeal

before the Ninth Circuit. Until the district court receives the mandate from the Ninth Circuit

transferring jurisdiction back the district court, the court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the motion to

stay. See Nascimento v. Dummer, 508 F.3d 905, 908 (9th Cir. 2007). Accordingly, the motion to stay

the proceedings is denied without prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: March 8, 2010

 Hon. Jeffrey T. Miller

 United States District Judge
