This counseled § 2254 habeas corpus petition brought by Terry D. Dixon is

15

currently stayed (see ECF No. 39). Dixon has filed a motion for clarification (ECF No.

16

40). The Federal Public Defender explains that he is drafting an amended petition and

17

also evaluating whether additional state-court proceedings are necessary. Good cause

18

appearing, the motion is granted.

19

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for clarification (ECF No.

20

40) is GRANTED. Petitioner SHALL FILE a status report within sixty (60) days of the

21

entry of this order. The status report will either notify the court that petitioner has timely

22

instituted new state court proceedings or has determined that additional state court

23

proceedings are unnecessary. If petitioner decides not to pursue additional state-court

24

remedies, he shall file a motion to reopen this case and for leave to file a counseled,

25

second-amended petition, if any.
