13
proceedings while he exhausts currently unexhausted claims in state court. (ECF No.
14
265.) On September 8, 2021, Bolin and the Respondents filed a stipulation to stay the
15
case for that purpose. (ECF No. 268.) For good cause shown, the stay will be granted.

It is therefore ordered that Bolin’s motion to stay (ECF No. 265) is granted. This

17
action is stayed while Bolin exhausts in state court his unexhausted claims for habeas
18
corpus relief. Bolin must file his exhaustion petition in the state court within 60 days of the

on a Nevada Department of Corrections Inmate Search
(https://ofdsearch.doc.nv.gov/form.php), Petitioner Bolin is currently housed at Ely State
Prison. Thus, the warden of that facility, William Gittere, is substituted for Calvin Johnson
as the primary Respondent. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 435 (2004) (noting
that the default rule is that the proper respondent is the warden of the facility where the
prisoner is being held).
