UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID HAWK,

Petitioner,

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATION (ECF No. 6) AND 

GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO 

STAY PETITION (ECF No. 2)

Petitioner is a state prisoner, represented by counsel, proceeding with a petition for writ 

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On June 28, 2016, the Magistrate Judge issued 

Findings and Recommendation that recommended granting Petitioner’s motion to stay the 

petition pursuant to Rhines v. Weber, 544 U.S. 269 (2005). (ECF No. 6).

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted 

a de novo review. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes that the 

Findings and Recommendation is supported by the record and proper analysis, and there is no 

need to modify the Findings and Recommendation. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendation issued on June 28, 2016 (ECF No. 6) is 

ADOPTED IN FULL; 

2. Petitioner’s motion for a stay under Rhines is GRANTED;

3. The proceedings are STAYED pending exhaustion of state remedies; 

4. Petitioner is DIRECTED to file a status report within thirty (30) days of the date of 

service of this order, and then every ninety (90) days thereafter. Within thirty (30) 

days following the final order of the state courts, Petitioner shall notify the Court that

the unexhausted claim has been exhausted and to request that the stay be lifted and 

the case proceed.

vacating the stay.
