1 2 3 4 5 6 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 8 9 AARON LEE TURPENING, 10 Petitioner, 11 vs. 12 TIMOTHY FILSON, et al., 13 2:16-cv-02947-JCM-PAL Respondents. ORDER 14 _______________________________/ 15 16 In this habeas corpus action, brought by Nevada prisoner Aaron Lee Turpening, the 17 respondents filed an answer to Turpening’s petition for writ of habeas corpus on May 10, 2017 18 (ECF No. 15). Turpening was then due to file a reply by July 10, 2017. See Order entered January 19 12, 2017 (ECF No. 3) (60 days for reply). 20 Turpening did not file a reply. Rather, on June 15, 2017, Turpening filed a Motion for Stay 21 or Extension of Time (ECF No. 19). In that filing, Turpening essentially requests that this action be 22 suspended -- by either a stay or an extension of time -- while he completes certain litigation in state 23 court. As the Court understands Turpening’s motion, Turpening has an appeal pending in the 24 Nevada Supreme Court, in which he appeals from the denial of a motion for modification of his 25 sentence, and he believes the resolution of that appeal will have an impact on this action. 26 1 On June 27, 2017, respondents filed a notice (ECF No. 20), stating that they do not oppose 2 suspending further proceedings in this action until the Nevada Supreme Court rules on Turpening’s 3 pending appeal. 4 5 6 Therefore, good cause appearing, the Court will stay this action pending the resolution of the appeal in the Nevada Supreme Court. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s Motion for Stay or Extension of Time 7 (ECF No. 19) is GRANTED. This action is STAYED pending the resolution of petitioner’s appeal 8 pending in the Nevada Supreme Court (Case Number 72227 in the Nevada Supreme Court). 9 10 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall close this case administratively. 11 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petitioner shall, within 30 days after the Nevada 12 Supreme Court rules on his appeal, file a notice in this case informing the Court of that ruling. The 13 Court will then determine whether the stay should be lifted, and, if so, what further proceedings are 14 necessary in this case. 15 16 July 13, 2017. Dated this _____ day of ________________________, 2017. 17 18 UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 2
