 Petitioner,

Robert L. AYERS Jr., Warden of San Quentin

State Prison, 

 Respondent.

Case Number 3-3-cv-2666-JSW

DEATH-PENALTY CASE

ORDER DIRECTING FILING OF

STATEMENT

On October 24, 2005, the Court issued an order holding the present action in abeyance

pending the completion of exhaustion proceedings by Petitioner in State court. The specific

exhaustion proceedings that formed the basis for holding the present action in abeyance have

been completed with the denial of relief by the Supreme Court of California. However, related

litigation in State court pursuant to California Penal Code § 1054.9 (West 2007) and In re Steele,

85 P.3d 444 (Cal. 2004), is ongoing. It is thus unclear whether this Court shift lift the stay of the

present proceedings at this time, await the conclusion of the current State-court proceedings, or

take some other action regarding the management of these federal habeas proceedings.

Accordingly, and good cause appearing therefor, the parties shall meet and confer and,

within thirty days of the issuance of the present order, shall file a joint statement indicating

whether the stay of the present action should be lifted. In the event that the parties agree that the
