DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION

On April 18, 2005, Petitioner’s counsel notified the Court that the Mohave County

Superior Court vacated his convictions and death sentence. (Dkt. 109.) On August 4,

Petitioner filed notice that re-trial was scheduled to begin October 17, 2005, and that

Respondents had filed a petition for review in the Arizona Supreme Court of the superior

court’s order granting a new trial. (Dkt. 111.) On September 27, 2005, the Arizona Supreme

Court summarily denied review, and Petitioner subsequently filed a stipulation pursuant to

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41 to voluntarily dismiss this action. (Dkt. 113.) 

The state court’s action having mooted Petitioner’s claims for habeas corpus relief,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties’ stipulation of voluntary dismissal

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a) is GRANTED and this action is DISMISSED. (Dkt. 113.)

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall promptly return to the

Arizona Supreme Court the certified copy of the state court record that was received by this

Court on December 1, 1999. (Dkt. 47.)
