No. C 05-2122 CRB (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

Per order filed on May 1, 2006, the court granted respondent's motion to

dismiss on the ground that petitioner only exhausted claims 1 through 4 of the 15

claims he raised in his petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. §

2254. 

Pursuant to the law of the circuit, the court instructed petitioner to inform

the court in writing, within 30 days, whether he wishes to (1) withdraw his

unexhausted claims and proceed only on his exhausted claims, or (2) dismiss the

entire mixed petition and return to federal court with a new petition once all

claims are exhausted. (The court also noted that petitioner may be able to seek a

stay of these proceedings if he can show that there was good cause for his failure

to exhaust his unexhausted claims in state court, and that the claims are

potentially meritorious.) The court made clear that failure to respond within the

designated time will result in the dismissal of the entire mixed petition without

prejudice to filing a new federal petition containing only exhausted claims.

More than 30 days have elapsed and petitioner has not responded to the

court's order or even sought an extension of time to do so. The petition is

DISMISSED without prejudice to filing a new federal petition containing only

exhausted claims. 

The clerk shall enter judgment in accordance with this order and close the

file.

SO ORDERED.
