IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCUS ANTHONY POWELL, No. CIV S-05-1167-LKK-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

RICHARD KIRKLAND,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with counsel, brings this petition for a writ

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner’s motion

for an order to stay these proceedings and hold consideration of petitioner’s claims in abeyance

pending exhaustion of state court remedies (“stay-and-abeyance order”) (Doc. 6). Respondent

has filed a statement of non-opposition to the request.

Based on the foregoing, the undersigned recommends that:

1. Petitioner’s unopposed motion for a stay-and-abeyance order be granted;

2. These proceedings be stayed pending further order of the court; and

3. Petitioner be required to submit a motion to lift the stay within 30 days

after disposition by the state court.
