WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Charles Michael Hedlund,

Petitioner,

v. 

David Shinn, et al.,

Respondents.

No. CV-19-05751-PHX-DLR

ORDER 

DEATH PENALTY CASE

Before the Court is Petitioner Charles Hedlund’s Motion for Temporary Stay and 

Abeyance. (Doc. 6.) In an order dated December 10, 2019, the Court directed 

Respondents “to file, no later than January 9, 2020, a response to Petitioner’s argument 

that his petition is not a second or successive petition requiring authorization from the 

Ninth Circuit under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A).” (Doc. 4 at 2.)

Hedlund seeks to stay the case and hold it in abeyance until the resolution of his 

petition for certiorari presently pending in the United States Supreme Court. See Hedlund 

v. Arizona, No. 19-5247; see also McKinney v. Arizona, No. 18-1109.

Respondents do not object to a stay. (Doc. 7.) They ask the Court to order that the 

stay will dissolve on resolution of Hedlund’s certiorari petition and that Respondents 

shall then have 21 days to submit their brief responding to Hedlund’s argument that his 

petition is not second in time or successive. (Id.)

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED granting Hedlund’s motion for a stay. (Doc. 6.) This matter is 

stayed pending resolution of Hedlund’s certiorari petition. From the date the petition is 

resolved, Respondents shall have 21 days to submit their brief responding to Hedlund’s 

argument that his petition is not second in time or successive.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED denying as moot Respondents’ motion for an 

extension of the deadline for complying with the Court’s December 10, 2019, order.

(Doc. 8.)

Dated this 14th day of January, 2020.
