 E. D. California -2-

2254 Cases, Respondent is required to indicate what transcripts are available, and attach to

the response all relevant transcripts and copies of briefs and opinions of any post conviction

proceedings initiated by Petitioner. See Rule 5(c)-(d). Petitioner shall be served with copies

of the records filed with the response, and provided time to review the relevant documents.

Should the records provided by Respondent not be adequate to address the issues presented

in the response, Petitioner may file a renewed motion for discovery at that time. Therefore,

Petitioner’s motion requesting discovery and an evidentiary hearing is DENIED without

prejudice. (ECF No. 4.)

Petitioner’s motion to stay the petition also is denied without prejudice. Petitioner has

not provided the Court with sufficient documentation to determine whether Petitioner has

presented the Court with a mixed petition that requires Petitioner to further exhaust her

remedies in the state court nor provided any other basis for staying this action. Again, after

receiving Respondent’s response and attached exhibits, Petitioner may move to stay the

proceeding if appropriate. Therefore, Petitioner’s motion to stay the proceeding is DENIED

without prejudice. (ECF No. 5.) 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
