IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAYMOND FRANKS,

Petitioner,

 v.

D. K. SISTO, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

No. C 07-01575 SBA (PR)

ORDER DIRECTING PETITIONER TO

FILE AN AMENDED PETITION

Petitioner, a state prisoner, has filed this petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254.

On June 11, 2008, the Court issued an Order granting Petitioner's request for a stay of

proceedings while he returned to state court to exhaust his administrative remedies. The Court also

stated: 

Nothing further will take place in this action until Petitioner receives a final decision

from the highest state court and, within thirty (30) days of doing so, moves to reopen

the action, lift the Court's stay and amend the stayed petition to add the

newly-exhausted claims.

(June 11, 2008 Order at 2.)

On May 18, 2010, Petitioner informed the Court that his state proceedings had concluded;

however, he did not amend the stayed petition to add the newly-exhausted claims. Therefore,

Petitioner must file an amended petition in this Court which incorporates the newly-exhausted

claims he intends to raise in federal court, as directed below.

CONCLUSION

1. No later than thirty (30) days of the date of this Order, Petitioner must file an

amended petition in this Court which incorporates the newly-exhausted claims he intends to raise in

federal court. The Court will lift the stay on the date that Petitioner files his amended petition. 

Petitioner must submit the amended petition on the attached blank habeas petition form, clearly label

the petition as the "Amended Petition," and write in the case number for this action on the form. He

should also attach to his amended petition a copy of his petition to the California Supreme Court, if

the document is available to him. If Petitioner fails to file an amended petition within the

prescribed period, the Court will dismiss this action without prejudice for failure to prosecute.

2. The Clerk of the Court shall send Petitioner a blank § 2254 habeas petition form. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
