ORDER
SCOTT M. KERNAN,
15
Respondent.
16
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding through counsel, has filed a petition for a writ of
17
18
habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On November 28, 2016, respondent filed a motion
19
to dismiss which is set for hearing on February 15, 2017. ECF No. 6. In response to the motion
20
to dismiss, petitioner requested that, if the court found her petition timely but her ineffective
21
assistance of counsel claim unexhausted, she be granted a stay under Rhines v. Weber, 544 U.S.
22
269 (2005). ECF No. 12 at 5-7. Although the request for stay was not put forth as a separate
23
motion, in the interest of judicial efficiency and so that all issues are fully briefed prior to the
24
February 15, 2017 hearing, the court will allow petitioner to reply to respondent’s opposition to
25
the request for stay.
