8 8 order Minutes of In Chambers Order/Directive - no proceeding held Thu 09/26 1:42 PM
MINUTE ORDER (IN CHAMBERS) by Magistrate Judge John D. Early, re Petition1 . On September 20, 2024, Petitioner Stanford James Stelle III ("Petitioner"), through counsel, filed: (1) a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in State Custody under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Dkt. 1, "Petition") and (2) a Motion to Stay and Abey Federal Habeas Proceedings Pending Exhaustion of State Court Remedies (Dkt. 3, "Motion")). Although the Petition and Motion reference nine grounds for relief, it appears ground nine was inadvertently omitted. See Petition at 6 Related [+]; Motion at 4 (listing nine grounds for relief). Attachment B titled "PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS BY A PERSON IN STATE CUSTODY 28 U.S.C. § 2254 ATTACHMENT B SECTION 8, GROUNDS SIX THROUGH NINE" is one page and cuts off mid-sentence on ground eight. See Petition, Attachment B, page 51. Ground nine has not been included. As such, in an abundance of caution, within seven (7) days of this Order, Petitioner is ORDERED to file either (1) a First Amended Petition that includes all grounds for relief he seeks to pursue in this action, or (2) a Notice of Intent to Proceed on the existing Petition.
