Case No. 3:11-cv-00048-MMD-VPC
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
JACK PALMER, et al.,

14

Respondents.

16

On December 22, 2014, the Court dismissed this habeas petition as untimely

17

(dkt. no. 118), and judgment was entered (dkt. no. 126). Though petitioner is

18

represented by counsel, he filed a notice of appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of

19

Appeals in pro se (see dkt. no. 121). On January 21, 2015, this Court denied several

20

pro se motions filed by petitioner and advised him to file no further documents in this

21

closed case unless directed to do so by this Court upon resolution of petitioner’s appeal

22

(dkt. no. 127). Thereafter, on January 29, 2015, petitioner filed a pro se motion to

23

request Local Rule 7-2(d) consent to grant motions orders (dkt. no. 128).

24

On February 4, 2015, petitioner’s counsel filed a motion to withdraw as counsel,

25

explaining that petitioner informed him that he would pursue his appeal pro se (dkt. no.

26

129). Petitioner subsequently filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss his appeal, which the

27

Ninth Circuit granted on April 3, 2015 (dkt. no. 131). Order on mandate was entered on

28

April 6, 2015 (dkt. no. 132).

It is further ordered that petitioner’s pro se motion to request Local Rule 7-2(d)
consent to grant motions orders (dkt. no. 128) is denied.
It is further ordered that petitioner is again advised to file no further documents in
this closed case.
