IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID HERNANDEZ,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-04-0280 GEB GGH P

vs.

JOSEPH McGRATH, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with appointed counsel, filed an application

for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. This case was stayed by order filed on

December 16, 2004. In that order, petitioner’s motion for a stay was granted pending exhaustion

of state court remedies with respect to petitioner’s Blakely1 claim. Petitioner was directed,

immediately upon exhaustion of said claim, to file and serve an amended petition, incorporating

all of his exhausted claims.2 

This matter has been stayed for more than seven months and the court has no

record of petitioner having filed an amended petition. In light of Rhines v. Weber, ___ U.S. ___,

125 S. Ct. 1528 (2005), petitioner is now directed to show cause, within 30 days, why no

amended petition has not yet been filed. Petitioner is also directed to show cause why the stay

imposed in this matter should not be lifted and why, thereafter, this action should not simply

proceed upon the exhausted claims filed in the original petition. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: 8/11/05
