ORDER
Magistrate Judge Perkin has recommended that I grant Petitioner’s Motion

Recommendation (Doc. No. 35), it is hereby ORDERED that:
1. The Report (Doc. No. 35) is APPROVED and ADOPTED, the
Petition will be held in abeyance pending exhaustion of state remedies, and
Petitioner shall exhaust all claims in state court;
2. Petitioner’s Motion for Stay and Abeyance (Doc. No. 32) is

GRANTED;
3. The Clerk shall place this matter in CIVIL SUSPENSE and shall
mark this case as CLOSED for statistical purposes;
4. Within thirty days of the conclusion of the state court proceedings,
including any related appellate proceedings, Petitioner shall notify the Court that
those proceedings are concluded and the case is ready to proceed; and,
