IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT ERNEST GALLEGOS, SR.,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-04-2741 MCE GGH P

vs.

TOM L. CAREY, Warden, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

A joint scheduling statement in this matter was filed on April 8, 2005, pursuant to

the court’s order filed February 8, 2005.1 After reviewing the joint statement, the court issues the

following ORDERS:

1. Petitioner shall notify the court and respondent by no later than June 10, 2005,

whether or not he intends to proceed on the existing petition and, if so, by that date must file any

supplemental memorandum of points and authorities;

2. Should petitioner choose to amend the petition and proceed on exhausted

claims only, petitioner must both inform the court of such an intent and must file an amended

exhausted-claims-only petition on or before June 10, 2005, along with any supplemental points

and authorities;

3. Respondent has identified one unexhausted claim of the eleven raised in the

original petition; petitioner’s counsel does not indicate whether or not she concedes the point.

Should petitioner’s counsel identify any unexhausted claims which petitioner intends to exhaust,

petitioner shall identify all claims, exhausted and unexhausted and shall file an amended

exhausted-claims-only petition if the original petition does not contain only exhausted claims or

if it does not contain all of his exhausted claims, and shall move the court to hold the proceedings

in abeyance pending exhaustion of state court remedies as to the unexhausted claims on or before

June 10, 2005, if, in light of Rhines v. Weber, ___ U.S. ___, 125 S. Ct. 1528 (2005), good cause

for having failed to exhaust all claims before filing in federal court can be shown. If a stay is

granted, petitioner must immediately pursue state court exhaustion and, upon said exhaustion,

file an amended petition containing all claims newly and previously exhausted, after which any

stay will be lifted and this matter will proceed;

4. Respondent must file a motion to dismiss within 30 days, or an answer within

60 days, of either the filing of an amended petition on which petitioner elects to proceed or upon

the filing of supplemental points and authorities in support of the existing petition. If a motion is

filed, petitioner must file a response within 30 days and respondent will have 15 days to file a

reply. If an answer is filed, petitioner will have 30 days to file a reply (formerly designated a

traverse); 

5. If an answer is filed, respondent will have 30 days from the time a reply is due

from petitioner to file a motion for discovery;

6. Petitioner’s counsel must identify any other motions she anticipates bringing at

the time of the filing of an amended petition or of supplemental points and authorities in support

of the existing petition; any such motions should be filed within 30 days thereafter, including any

motion for an evidentiary hearing. Respondent, who intends to oppose any motion for an

evidentiary hearing, must do so within 30 days after such motion is filed; petitioner will

thereafter have 15 days to file a reply to the opposition.
