IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL GIPSON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0260 LKK DAD P

vs.

D.K. SISTO, Warden, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with an amended petition for writ

of habeas corpus, challenging the Board of Parole Hearings’ 2005 decision to deny him parole. 

On May 22, 2008, respondents filed a motion, requesting a stay of these

proceedings pending issuance of the mandate in Hayward v. Marshall, 512 F.3d 536 (9th Cir.

2008), reh’g en banc granted, 527 F.3d 797 (9th Cir. May 16, 2008). Petitioner has filed a timely

opposition to respondents’ motion. Respondents have not filed a reply.

After a review of the record and the relevant case law, this court concludes that

respondents’ motion should be denied. See Landis v. North American Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254

(1936) (a district court has broad discretion in deciding whether to stay proceedings in its own

court).
