IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CURTIS M. JOHN-CHARLES,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-0175 MCE GGH P

vs.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On October 28, 2005, the court recommended that

petitioner’s request to hold this action in abeyance pending his exhaustion of additional claims be

denied.

On June 23, 2006, petitioner filed a motion to amend his petition on grounds that

he has now exhausted state court remedies. The motion to amend does not appear to contain all

of petitioner’s claims. Accordingly, the court will vacate the October 28, 2005, findings and

recommendations and direct petitioner to file an amended petition containing all of his claims. 

On August 28, 2006, petitioner filed a motion to consolidate. Petitioner requests

that his briefing filed in the California Supreme Court be considered in support of his instant

petition. Good cause appearing, the court will consider this pleading in support of the amended

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
