ORDER
On May 18, 2007, this court granted petitioner thirty days leave to file a renewed motion for stay and abeyance. Petitioner has filed a letter with the court stating that he no longer wishes to pursue the motion because he will soon be transferred from CSP-Solano and will no longer be able to consult with his fellow prisoner about his legal work.
First, petitioner is advised that he should file a notice of change of address with the court as soon as he knows his new address. Local Rule 83-182(f) requires that a party appearing in propria persona inform the court of any address change. Second, petitioner is advised that he is not required to file a renewed motion for stay and abeyance for the court to consider the merits of his case. In the event that petitioner exhausts additional claims before the court reaches a decision in the case, petitioner may make a motion to amend to add new claims that the court may consider at that time. Finally, in light of petitioner's pending transfer, the court will grant petitioner sixty days to file a traverse to respondent's answer. Petitioner is advised that a traverse is optional.
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner shall file a traverse, if any, within sixty days of the date of this order.
