Milligan, a Nevada prisoner who was under sentence of death when the action was initiated on February 20, 2003. On April 13, 2007, after the court granted leave for petitioner to conduct certain discovery, and after that discovery was apparently completed, petitioner filed an amended habeas petition. Then, on August 31, 2007, upon a motion by petitioner, the court stayed this action so that petitioner could complete post-conviction litigation that he had commenced in state court. The case has remained stayed since then, while the state-court litigation has proceeded. On December 13, 2010, petitioner filed a motion to dismiss this action with prejudice (docket #84). That motion for voluntary dismissal is supported by a declaration of petitioner's counsel and a declaration of Milligan.
