This Court ordered Petitioner to provide a supplemental statement by February 10 explaining the basis of his federal constitutional challenge to his conviction and his request for a Rhines stay.

Nevertheless, in the interests of justice, the Court will give Petitioner an opportunity to explain the bases for his defective petition and the stay request. That response will be due by March 20.

No extensions will be considered but for good cause demonstrated.

Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that the action be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Applied Underwriters, Inc. v. Lichtenegger, 913 F.3d 884 (9th Cir. 2019).
