ROBERT J. JACKSON,

Case No. 2:17-cv-01711-MMD-VCF

Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
BRIAN WILLIAMS, et al.,
Respondents.

11
12

The Court directed petitioner to show cause why this action should not be

13

dismissed because it appeared that petitioner had not yet exhausted his state-court

14

remedies. Petitioner has not filed a response to the Court’s order within the allotted time.

15

A review of the Nevada Supreme Court’s on-line docket shows that petitioner’s direct

16

appeal still is pending. Jackson v. State, No. 71726.1 Consequently, the petition is

17

unexhausted entirely.

18
19

Reasonable jurists would not find the Court’s conclusion to be debatable or wrong,
and the Court will not issue a certificate of appealability.

20

It is therefore ordered that this action is dismissed for petitioner’s failure to exhaust

21

his available state-court remedies. The Clerk of the Court will enter judgment accordingly

22

and close this action.

23

It is further ordered that a certificate of appealability is denied.

24

DATED THIS 6th day of December 2017.
