IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORIO PASCUAL MARTINEZ

ZALDIVAR,

Petitioner,

 v.

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, et al.,

Respondents.

 /

No. C 06-07683 JSW

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

STAY PENDING APPEAL

On December 14, 2006, Petitioner Gregorio Pascual Martinez Zaldivar (“Petitioner”)

filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, or in the alternative, order to show cause, and motion

for emergency stay of execution and application for a temporary restraining order. Petitioner

seeks an order staying his detention and removal to Mexico pursuant to the order of removal

issued by the Board of Immigration Appeals. On December 15, this Court issued an order

dismissing the petition for lack of jurisdiction. Later that same day, Petitioner filed a notice of

appeal, appealing this Court’s dismissal to the Ninth Circuit.

On December 17, 2006, Petitioner filed a motion for an emergency stay of execution and

application for temporary stay pending ruling of appeal. For the same reasons stated in the order

dismissing this petition, this Court lacks jurisdiction to enter a stay. In addition, the Petitioner’s

filing of a notice of appeal divested this Court of any jurisdiction. See McClatchy Newspapers

v. Central Valley Typographical Union No. 46, Intern. Typographical Union 686, F.2d 731, 734
