Trial Court Opinion

8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA BARRY SLADE, No. 2:21-cv-00464 GGH P 12 Petitioner, 13 v. ORDER RAYMOND MADDEN, 15 Respondent.

17 Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding in pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has filed a document informing the court that he has exhausted his claims by presenting his claims to the California Court of Appeal. ECF No. 7. However, petitioner is mistaken. A petitioner satisfies the exhaustion requirement by providing the highest state court with a full and fair opportunity to consider all claims before presenting them to the federal court. Picard v. Connor, 404 U.S. 270, 276 (1971) (emphasis added); Middleton v. Cupp, 768 F.2d 1083, 1086 (9th Cir. 1985), cert. denied, 478 U.S. 1021 (1986). Accordingly, petitioner must present his claims to the California Supreme Court. Petitioner will be granted one more //// //// //// //// opportunity to file a motion to stay or risk a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice for failure to exhaust state court remedies.

3 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner file a motion for stay within twenty-one days.

4 Petitioner is warned that failure to file a motion for stay and abeyance within the court’s deadline will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed as unexhausted.
