TENG YANG,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-2578 KJM P

vs.

CHARLES DEROSA,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a California prisoner proceeding pro se with an application for writ of

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in each of the above-titled actions. On December 21,

2009, petitioner filed a motion in CIV S-08-2233 KJM P requesting a stay so that he can exhaust

state court remedies with respect to five claims. Petitioner already presented a motion to stay in

CIV S-09-2578 KJM P (see docket entry #3) and the motion was denied on March 18, 2010.

Although the motion filed in this case is signed by petitioner, the substance of the motion is the

same; the court has no cause to reconsider the March 18, 2010 order entered in CIV S-09-2578

KJM P. Therefore, petitioner’s motion for a stay in CIV S-08-2233 KJM P will be denied.

On May 7, 2010 in CIV S-09-2578 KJM P, the court ordered respondent to file a

response within sixty days to petitioner’s April 12, 2010 amended petition for writ of habeas

corpus. The April 12, 2010 amended petition filed in CIV S-09-2578 KJM P is essentially the

same as the amended petition filed December 21, 2009 in CIV S-08-2233 KJM P, except that the

five unexhausted claims mentioned above are included in the December 21, 2009 petition. The

court has not yet ordered respondent to respond to the December 21, 2009 petition. 

Good cause appearing, CIV S-09-2578 KJM P will be closed and petitioner will

proceed in CIV S-08-2233 KJM P. The order directing respondent to file a response to the April

12, 2010 amended petition in CIV S-09-2578 KJM P will be vacated and respondent will be

directed to file a response to the December 21, 2009 amended petition filed in CIV S-08-2233

KJM P. Respondent need only respond to claims one through five. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s motion for a stay in CIV S-08-2233 KJM P (#51) is denied. 

2. The May 7, 2010 order in CIV S-09-2578 KJM P directing respondent to file a

response to petitioner’s April 12, 2010 amended application for writ of habeas corpus is vacated. 

3. Case CIV S-09-2578 KJM P is closed.

4. Respondent is directed to file a response to the December 21, 2009 amended

petition for writ of habeas corpus filed in CIV S-08-2233 KJM P within sixty days from the date

of this order. See Rule 4, Fed. R. Governing § 2254 Cases. An answer shall be accompanied by

all transcripts and other documents relevant to the issues presented in the petition. See Rule 5,

Fed. R. Governing § 2254 Cases. Respondent need only respond to claims one through five in

the amended petition.

5. If the response to the amended petition is an answer, petitioner’s reply, if any,

shall be filed and served within thirty days after service of the answer.

6. If the response to the habeas petition is a motion, petitioner’s opposition or

statement of non-opposition to the motion shall be filed and served within thirty days after

service of the motion, and respondent’s reply, if any, shall be filed and served within fourteen

days thereafter.

7. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this order, the

consent/reassignment form contemplated by Appendix A(k) to the Local Rules of this court, and

a copy of the amended petition for writ of habeas corpus filed in CIV S-08-2233 KJM P on

December 21, 2009 on Michael Patrick Farrell, Senior Assistant Attorney General.

DATED: May 18, 2010.
