Servin v. Tampkins
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
JAIME TAPIA SERVIN, Case No. 19-cv-01873-VC (PR)
Petitioner, ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT v. PREJUDICE
CYNTHIA Y. TAMPKINS, Respondent.
This is a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 2254filed by California inmate Jaime Tapia Servin. On August 13, 2019, the Court dismissed the petition with leave to amend because Servin had not alleged a violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States and because he had not exhausted any claims. The Court granted Servin permission to file an amended complaint with a motion for a stay and abey under Rhines v. Weber,
544 U.S. 269(2005), with instructions about how to do so. On September 9, 2019, Servin filed a motion for a stay, but it did not meet the requirements set forth in Rhines. The Court denied the motion without prejudice so that Servin could correct the noted deficiencies. On October 21, 2019, Servin filed an amended petition with a motion to stay and abey, but again he did not meet the Rhines requirements. On December 19, 2019, the Court dismissed the second motion to stay and abey with instructions about how to correct the deficiencies. The Court stated that, if Servin did not file a third motion for a stay and abey within 28 days from the date of the Order, the petition would be dismissed without prejudice to Servin filing a new petition in the future with only exhausted federal claims. The 28-day deadline has passed and Servin has not filed another motion or communicated with the Court. Therefore, the petition is dismissed without prejudice to Servin filing a new petition in the future with exhausted federal claims. CONCLUSION The petition is dismissed without prejudice. A certificate of appealability will not issue. See
28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). This is not a case in which “jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural ruling.” Slack v.
