CASE NO. 2:12-CV-12658
01-04-2013
EDMUND LOWELL FIELDS, #487029, Petitioner, v. DAVID BERGH, Respondent.
HONORABLE DENISE PAGE HOOD
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO STAY AS MOOT
Michigan prisoner Edmund Lowell Fields ("Petitioner") has filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging the validity of his state criminal proceedings and current confinement. At the time he filed his petition, Petitioner moved to stay the case because he had a motion for reconsideration pending in the Michigan Supreme Court concerning the same matter. Petitioner has since informed the Court that the Michigan Supreme Court denied reconsideration on July 24, 2012. Given such circumstances, Petitioner's request for a stay is unnecessary. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Petitioner's motion to stay as moot.
IT IS ORDERED.
