5 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 6 WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE 7 9 Petitioner, CASE NO. C18-186-TSZ-BAT 10 v. ORDER LIFTING STAY AND SETTING FORTH BRIEFING 12 Respondent.

13 Respondent has requested that the order staying and holding this case in abeyance be 14 lifted because petitioner has fully exhausted Ground 2 of his original habeas petition by having 15 that claim adjudicated by the state courts and having his petition for certiorari denied by the 16 United States Supreme Court. Dkt. 34; see Basra v. Washington, __ U.S. __, 2020 WL 5882949 17 (Oct. 5, 2020). Because the reason for the stay no longer exists, the Court LIFTS the order 18 staying and holding this case in abeyance so the matter may proceed to a consideration of the 19 merits. Dkts. 22, 23. The Court sets forth the following briefing schedule: 20 • Respondent should file a supplemental answer addressing the remaining, fully 21 exhausted habeas grounds (Grounds 2, 3, and 4 in the original petition) and a 22 supplemental relevant state court record by December 16, 2020; 23 • Petitioner should file a response to the answer by January 11, 2021; 1 • Respondent should file an optional reply brief by January 15, 2021; 2 • The Clerk should note the habeas petition for consideration on January 15, 2021. 3 DATED this 4th day of November, 2020. 4 A
