United States District Court

On September 2, 2010, Plaintiff Adnan Anjum Khan (“Plaintiff”) commenced the above-

12

entitled case by filing a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus challenging his state court conviction

13

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. See Docket Item No. 1. This case as thereafter stayed in favor of a

14

related proceeding pending before the California Supreme Court. See Docket Item No. 3.

15

Having since retained counsel, Plaintiff now moves to reopen this case and dissolve the

16

previously-imposed stay. See Docket Item No. 5. Plaintiff’s counsel indicates that the California

17

Supreme Court denied Plaintiff relief on June 8, 2011.

18

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion to reopen and dissolve the stay is GRANTED. To the extent

19

such order is still necessary, Plaintiff’s additional request for an extension of time to file an amended

20

petition is also GRANTED. The Clerk of the Court shall reopen this case and reassign it as

21

appropriate pursuant to this District’s assignment plan.

22

IT IS SO ORDERED.
