No. 2:14-cv-02376 CKD P
Petitioner,
12
v.
13
FRED FOULK,
14
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Respondents.
15
16
Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding through counsel with a petition for writ of habeas
17
corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging his 2011 conviction for possession of a sharp
18
instrument while a prisoner.
19
On October 9, 2014, petitioner filed the instant mixed petition which contained both
20
exhausted and unexhausted claims. ECF No. 1. On October 28, 2014, petitioner was ordered to
21
advise the court how he wished to proceed on his mixed petition. See ECF No. 3 at 2 (explaining
22
the available options). Petitioner filed a motion to stay the instant habeas petition pursuant to
23
Rhines v. Weber, 544 U.S. 269 (2005), in order to exhaust his state court remedies with respect to
24
his ineffective assistance of counsel claim. ECF No. 4.
25
On December 11, 2014, the court granted petitioner’s motion for a stay of proceedings
26
pursuant to Rhines. ECF No. 6. In that order, the court required petitioner to file a request to lift
27
the stay within thirty days from the date of a decision by the California Supreme Court
28
concluding state habeas review. Id. Petitioner was cautioned that failure to timely inform the
1
1
court of the status of petitioner’s claim in state court would result in a dismissal of the federal
2
claim. Id. Petitioner has failed to file any status reports or a motion to lift the stay as required by
3
the court’s December 10, 2014 order.
4
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty (30) days from the date of
5
this order, petitioner shall file a response to this order showing cause why the court
6
should not lift the stay and dismiss petitioner’s ineffective assistance of counsel claim as
7
unexhausted due to petitioner’s failure to comply with the prior court order.
