ORDER
HOWARD D. MCKIBBEN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On July 12, 2022, this Court stayed this counseled habeas matter pending Petitioner Leo Hunter's exhaustion of his unexhausted grounds in state court. (ECF No. 54.)

The Court finds good cause to grant the motion.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Hunter's motion to reopen [ECF No. 56] is GRANTED. This case is no longer stayed.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk of court REOPEN this matter.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents have 60 days to answer, or otherwise respond to, the amended petition [ECF No. 40]. The remainder of this Court's scheduling order [ECF No. 30] remains in effect.
