On August 1, 2007, Petitioner, a prisoner at High Desert State Prison, filed a petition for a

writ of habeas corpus in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Docket No. 1.) Thereafter,

Petitioner obtained counsel for the purposes of pursuing post-conviction remedies, and on

September 21, 2007, Dallas Sacher, became Petitioner’s counsel of record. (Docket No. 5.) Also on

that date, Petitioner filed the present Motion to Stay Proceedings. (Docket No. 6.) It does not

1. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order, the Petition, the Motion, and

days of the issuance of this Order, an Opposition showing cause why Petitioner’s Motion to Stay

3. If Petitioner wishes to reply to Respondents’ Opposition, Petitioner shall do so by

filing a Reply with the Court and serving it on Respondents within fifteen (15) days of the filing of

the Oppositions. Should Petitioner fail to file a Reply, the Motion will be deemed submitted and

ready for decision fifteen (15) days after the date Respondents’ Opposition is filed

4. Extensions of time are not favored, though reasonable extensions will be granted. 

Any motion for an extension of time must be filed no later than five (5) days prior to the deadline

IT IS SO ORDERED.
