UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN L. CARADINE,

Petitioner,

v.

SUZANNE M. PEERY, Acting Warden,

Respondent.

Case No. 14-cv-01530-YGR (PR)

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S 

REQUEST FOR A FOURTH

EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND 

TO THE COURT’S FEBRUARY 20, 2015 

ORDER

Petitioner Kevin L. Caradine, a state prisoner, filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On February 20, 2015, the Court issued an Order Granting 

Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss; and Requiring Election by Petitioner Regarding Mixed Petition. 

Dkt. 12.

Before the Court is Petitioner’s request for a fourth extension of time to respond to the 

Court’s February 20, 2015 Order. Dkt. 19. His request is GRANTED.

No later than February 12, 2016, Petitioner must file either: (1) an amended petition that 

includes only his three exhausted claims and strikes the remaining unexhausted prospective juror 

bias claim, or (2) file a request for a stay of this matter while he exhausts his unexhausted 

prospective juror bias claim in that court. If Petitioner chooses to file an amended petition, he 

must submit it on the attached blank habeas petition form, clearly label the petition as the 

“Amended Petition,” and write in the case number for this action—C 14-01530 YGR (PR)—on 

the form.

If Petitioner fails to file either an amended petition or a request for a stay as ordered herein 

by the February 12, 2016 deadline, the petition will be dismissed without prejudice to Petitioner’s

later filing a new petition that contains only exhausted claims. Should he do so, he is advised to 

file his new federal habeas corpus petition as soon as possible after his state court proceedings
