UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROLANDO SOLIS,

Petitioner,

v.

J. YATES,

Respondent.

 /

1: 07 CV 00221 OWW WMW HC

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR STAY

[Doc. 10]

Petitioner is a prisoner proceeding with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. Section 2254. On April 10, 2007, Petitioner filed a motion for a stay of this action, claiming

that prison authorities have stated that they cannot provide him with his legal materials for three

months. Petitioner states that without these materials, he will be unable to draft a traverse to

Respondent’s answer. 

Respondent’s answer has not yet been filed. The court therefore finds any claim that

Petitioner will not be able to file a timely traverse to be purely speculative. Accordingly,

Petitioner’s motion for a stay is HEREBY DENIED without prejudice to Petitioner’s right to file

traverse.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
