ROBERT ANTHONY MARTINELLI,

Petitioner,

v.

ROBERT NEUSCHMID,

Respondent.

Case No. 18-cv-02610-JD 

ORDER

Robert Martinelli, a state prisoner, filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The Court ordered respondent to show cause regarding the sole 

claim that petitioner received ineffective assistance from trial counsel for the failure to demurrer 

the criminal complaint. Respondent filed a motion to dismiss arguing that the claim in the petition 

was unexhausted. Petitioner originally filed a motion for a stay in response to the motion to 

dismiss. The Court dismissed the motion for a stay without prejudice for petitioner to file an 

amended motion with additional arguments. Petitioner has not filed an amended motion for a stay 

but has filed documents indicating that the California Supreme Court recently denied a petition.

It is not clear from petitioner’s filing what claim was presented to the California Supreme 

Court and if it was the ineffective assistance of trial counsel claims that is the subject of this 

federal petition. Within twenty-one (21) days, petitioner shall indicate what claim was presented 

to the California Supreme Court. Petitioner may also wish to send a copy of the petition to the 

California Supreme Court with his reply.
