UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CRAIG IVAN ADAMS,

Petitioner,

v.

PATRICK COVELLO,

Respondent.

No. 2:19-cv-2572 WBS DB P

ORDER

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a petition for a 

writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On February 13, 2020, respondent moved to 

dismiss the petition on the grounds that one of the four claims alleged by petitioner is 

unexhausted. (ECF No. 10.) In his response, filed here on March 4, 2020, petitioner requests that 

the unexhausted claim, claim 4, be deleted from his petition and the case proceed on his 

remaining three claims. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

1. Claim 4 regarding petitioner’s sentencing enhancement is stricken from the petition. 

This case will proceed on petitioner’s claims 1-3. 

2. Respondent’s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 10) is denied as moot.
