Case No.: 1:18-cv-01516-JLT (HC)
ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION
TO LIFT STAY
(Doc. 14)

On November 1, 2018, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging his

18

2016 conviction in Tuolumne County Superior Court for assault with a deadly weapon and false

19

imprisonment. (Doc. 1.) Petitioner raised six claims in his petition and indicated that three of them

20

were unexhausted. He requested a stay of the proceedings to allow him time to exhaust his state

21

remedies. The Court granted the stay on November 5, 2018. (Doc. 8.) On September 20, 2019,

22

Petitioner filed a motion to lift the stay stating that exhaustion was complete and attaching a copy of

23

the denial issued by the California Supreme Court. (Doc. 14.) It appears the petition is exhausted, so

24

the Court LIFTS the stay.
