UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JUAN TORRES,

Petitioner,

v.

TIM VIRGA, Warden, et al.,

Respondent.

No. 2:12-cv-1358 TLN DAD P

ORDER

By order dated May 20, 2014, this action was stayed for sixty days and petitioner was 

directed to notify the court and opposing counsel of the status of several petitions for certiorari 

pending before the United States Supreme Court in the event that the stay had not been lifted 

before the period of the stay had expired. On July 14, 2014, petitioner filed the required status 

report. By order dated August 13, 2014, the stay was extended for another sixty days and 

petitioner’s counsel was directed to notify the court and opposing counsel of the current status of 

the petition for certiorari filed in DeMola v. Cavazos, Acting Warden, Case No. 13-10288, prior 

to the expiration of the stay. On October 6, 2014, petitioner’s counsel filed the required status 

report, explaining that the state’s response to the DeMola petition for certiorari is currently due on 

or before October 20, 2014. Good cause appearing, the court will grant an additional 60 day stay 

of this action. However, the parties are advised that the court is reluctant to grant any further 

stays of this action unless a compelling showing is made justifying further delay.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:

1. This action is stayed for sixty days from the date of this order.

2. During the sixty day period of the stay, petitioner’s counsel shall keep the court 

apprised of any legal developments that would justify a lifting of the stay. In addition, if the stay 

has not been lifted before the sixty day period of the stay expires, petitioner’s counsel shall notify 

the court and opposing counsel of the then-current status of the petition for certiorari filed in 

DeMola v. Cavazos, Acting Warden, 13-10288. 

3. After the stay is lifted, the parties shall file a proposed schedule for the filing of a 

traverse and further briefing on the applicability of the decisions in Miller v. Alabama, ___ U.S. 

___, 132 S. Ct. 2455 (2012) and Bell v. Uribe, 729 F.3d 1052 (9th Cir. 2013) to this case.
