vs.

KATHY MENDOZA-POWERS, 

Warden, Avenal State Prison,

Respondent. ORDER

On April 9, 2007, counsel for petitioner submitted a proposed order relieving him

as counsel and substituting petitioner in pro per; counsel did not submit a copy of the order in

substitution of counsel, filed February 12, 2007, is well-taken, however.

On March 29, 2007, the court granted petitioner’s motion for a stay of

proceedings and directed petitioner to file a status report within one hundred eighty days of that

order if exhaustion was not completed. Neither counsel nor petitioner has done so.

setting forth the progress of his exhaustion petition in the state court. Petitioner is reminded to

file further status reports in conformance with the schedule established in the order of March 29,

2007. Failure to comply will result in an order lifting the stay.
