See 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On September 4, 2009, respondents moved to dismiss the petition on the ground that petitioner has failed to exhaust his available state remedies. On December 4, 2009, the court informed petitioner of the requirements for filing an opposition to any motion to dismiss. That order gave petitioner an additional 30 days to file an opposition or statement of non-opposition and warned him that failure to do so could result in dismissal. The 30 days have passed and petitioner has not filed an opposition or a statement of no opposition nor otherwise responded to the December 4, 2009 order. //// ////
