UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTONIO ESPINOZA,

Petitioner,

v.

WARDEN, CALIF. STATE PRISON AT 

SAN QUENTIN,

Respondent.

No. 2:94-cv-1665 JAM DB P

ORDER

Petitioner is a state prisoner formerly under sentence of death. He is proceeding through 

counsel with a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. In 2018, the court stayed this case to permit 

petitioner to exhaust his state remedies. (See ECF No. 289.) On June 13, 2022, petitioner’s 

counsel filed a document entitled “Report of Claim Disposition.” Counsel informed the court that 

the parties stipulated to vacate the sentence of death and the state court has imposed a sentence of 

life without parole. (ECF No. 292.) 

Within twenty days of the filed date of this order, petitioner’s counsel shall notify the 

court whether the resolution of his state court claim constitutes a final decision of the state court 

on his exhaustion petition and the stay of these proceedings should be lifted.
