ORDER LIFTING ABEYANCE (Doc. 7)

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND THE

PETITION (Doc. 12)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF THE COURT

TO FILE THE LODGED AMENDED

PETITION OF FEBRUARY 24, 2006 (Doc. 13)

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On July 8, 2005, Petitioner filed a motion to stay proceedings while

he exhausted various claims in state court. (Doc. 6). On August 3, 2005, the Court granted the

motion for stay. (Doc. 7). On February 24, 2006, Petitioner filed a Status Report with the Court

indicating that Petitioner’s state court habeas proceedings had been concluded on January 18, 2006,

when the California Supreme Court denied his petition. (Doc. 14). At the same time, Petitioner

lodged with the Court an amended petition that included the newly-exhausted claims (Doc. 13), and

also filed a motion for leave to amend the petition. (Doc. 12). 

DISCUSSION

A. Abeyance.

In the order granting the abeyance, the Court explained that it would hold the petition in

abeyance until the California Supreme Court had rule on Petitioner’s state habeas petition. (Doc. 7). 

Since the California Supreme Court denied the petition on January 18, 2006, the abeyance is hereby

LIFTED.

B. Amended Petition.

The order granting the motion for abeyance indicated that when Petitioner’s state court

proceedings were concluded, he would be given an opportunity to file an amended petition that

included any newly exhausted claims. (Doc. 7). Accordingly, Petitioner’s motion for leave to file

an amended petition (Doc. 12) is GRANTED. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to file an

amended petition which has already been lodged with the Court on February 24, 2006. (Doc. 13). 

ORDER

GOOD CAUSE appearing therefor, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The stay and abeyance ordered on August 3, 2005 (Doc. 7), is LIFTED; 

2. Petitioner’s Motion for Leave to file an Amended Petition (Doc. 12), is GRANTED; and,

3. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to file the amended petition lodged with the Court

on February 24, 2006. (Doc. 13).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
