UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER DUANE BAKKEN,

Petitioner,

v.

A. K. SCRIBNER, et.al.,

Respondents.

 /

1:05-cv-1133 OWW DLB (HC)

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

REQUEST TO FILE SECOND AMENDED

PETITION, DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT

TO FILE SECOND AMENDED PETITION

ATTACHED TO COURT DOCUMENT

NUMBER 44, AND DIRECTING

RESPONDENT TO FILE RESPONSE TO

AMENDED PETITION

[Doc. 44]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner is represented by Meredith Fahn, Esq. 

On March 7, 2006, this Court granted Petitioner’s request to stay and hold the petition in

abeyance pending exhaustion in the state courts. (Court Doc. 17.) Pursuant to that order,

Petitioner has filed timely status reports informing this Court of the status of the state court

proceedings. (See Court Docs. 18-43.) On March 22, 2009, Petitioner filed a motion for leave to

file a second amended petition as the state court proceedings became final on February 18, 2010. 

(Court Doc. 44.)

As Petitioner states the “second amended petition does not add any new claims, but is

updated to reflect the proceedings that have transpired since the stay and abey order, including

the evidentiary hearing and subsequent exhaustion proceedings” and does not present any

“relation-back” issues, Petitioner’s request to file the second amended petition shall be granted.
