IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES E. WHITE,

Petitioner,

v.

CONNIE GIPSON, Warden,

Respondent.

1:14-cv-01214 LJO MJS HC

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATION AND VACATING 

STAY TO PETITION FOR WRIT OF 

HABEAS CORPUS 

[Doc. 14]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On August 4, 2014, Petitioner filed the instant petition along with a motion to stay

the proceedings. (Mot. to Stay, ECF No. 2.) Petitioner requested the Court stay his 

petition while he attempted to exhaust his state court claims. The Court granted the stay 

on August 26, 2014. (ECF No. 7.) On September 8, 2015, the Court ordered Petitioner to 

show cause why the stay should not be vacated in light of Petitioner's exhaustion of his 

claims in state court.

On November 3, 2015, the Magistrate Judge issued findings and a 

recommendation that the stay be lifted. (ECF No. 14.) Petitioner did not file objections to 

the findings and recommendation.
