Doolin received by the court on October 27, 2016. 

Petitioner filed his federal petition on October 18, 2011. The court stayed this proceeding 

on January 17, 2012 to allow petitioner to pursue his state exhaustion petitions filed in the 

California Supreme Court on October 24, 2011 (In re Doolin, Cal. Sup. Ct. No. S197391) and 

May 4, 2016 (In re Doolin, Cal. Sup. Ct. No. S234285) including claims of innocence. 

The noted pro se submission refers to state victim compensation claims that appear to 

relate to this proceeding and matters pending exhaustion in state court.2 However, the court will 

not file a pro se submission from any represented party unless, as is not the case here, the 

 

1

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 25(d), Ron Davis, Warden of San Quentin State Prison, is substituted as respondent in 

place of his predecessor wardens.
