CASE NO. 1:15-CV-145 SMS
ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR STAY
AND ARBITRATION ORDER

v.
Docs. 9, 13
R. REED, WARDEN,

12

Respondent.

13

On February 17, 2105, Petitioner Kenji D. Richmond filed two identical documents, both

14

entitled “MOTION FOR REQUEST OF STAY AND ARBITRATION ORDER.” Docs. 9, 13. In

15

them he requests a stay of his pending habeas petition in order to exhaust his state and federal

16

constitutional issues in the lower courts. However, it appears from his petition that he has already

17

exhausted his state court remedies by appealing his conviction to the California Court of Appeal

18

and the Supreme Court of California. Doc. 1, 3:19-24. Petitioner does not set forth any other

19

grounds supporting his request for a stay. Hence, his request for a stay will be denied.

20

Petitioner’s request for an arbitration order is inapposite in this habeas matter. Petitioner

21

does not identify any grounds for the relief sought. Hence, his request for an arbitration order will

22

be denied.

23
24

For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner’s motions for request of stay and arbitration order are
hereby DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
