Petitioner brings this habeas corpus action pro se and in forma pauperis. The petition was

19
dismiss the petition for failure to exhaust pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 2254(b)(1)(A). ECF No.

17. On March 12, 2018 petitioner sought a 30 day extension of time to file a motion for stay and
21
abeyance to permit him to exhaust his state remedies, ECF No. 19, and on March 23 2018, this
22
court granted that Motion directing that petitioner to file a Motion for Stay and Abeyance within
23
30 days of the service of the Order. ECF No. 20. In the interim between the filings found in ECF
24
Nos. 19 and 20, petitioner filed an Opposition to the Motion to Dismiss which, upon review,
