ISAAC LEWIS, Petitioner, v. WILLIAM RUEBART, Respondents.
ORDER
ANNE R. TRAUM, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that
1. Lewis's motion to stay proceedings pending litigation in a related case [ECF No. 7] is GRANTED.
2. This action is STAYED pending the decision on the motion to reopen Case No. 2:21-cv-00580-RFB-NJK.
3. The Clerk of the Court shall administratively close this action unless and until the Court reopens the matter.
