ORDER
D.P. MARSHALL, Jr., District Judge.
In March, the Court granted Jackson's motion to voluntarily dismiss his habeas petition. No. 11. But no separate Judgment issued. FED. R. CIV. P. 58(a) & (c)(2)(B); Jeffries v. United States, 721 F.3d 1008, 1012-13 (2013). Jackson now asks for a stay instead of dismissal. No. 12. Because Judgment hasn't been entered, and in the interests of justice to allow Jackson to possibly pursue relief in the Arkansas courts, the Court vacates the dismissal, No. 11. FED. R. CIV. P. 60(b)(6). The Court refers this case back to Magistrate Judge Volpe to consider Jackson's motion on its merits, No. 12.
So Ordered.
