ORDER DISMISSING REQUEST FOR
STAY AS MOOT

v.

10

Case No. 18-cv-01558-SI

12
13

Petitioner filed a motion for a stay and abeyance of this action so that he could exhaust state

14

court remedies for some of his claims. Docket No. 14. He recently filed a letter stating that he has

15

now received a decision from the California Supreme Court on his petition for writ of habeas corpus

16

and therefore believes his “claims have been fully exhausted and now are ready for this court’s

17

consideration.” Docket No. 18. A stay is no longer necessary because petitioner has completed his

18

efforts to exhaust state court remedies. Accordingly, the motion for a stay and abeyance is

19

DISMISSED as moot. Docket No. 14. The court will issue shortly an order reviewing the amended

20

petition.
