ORDER

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se on a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On November 2, 2017, the court issued a stay in this matter and administratively closed the case while petitioner returned to the state court to exhaust additional claims. ECF No. 15. Petitioner was required to notify this court within thirty days of a decision by the state's highest court exhausting her new claims. Id. at 2. At the same time, she was to file an amended petition and a request to lift the stay. Id. Petitioner has now filed a notice stating that the California Supreme Court denied her petition on November 14, 2018, and requests that the stay be lifted and she be given an additional thirty days to file an amended petition. ECF Nos. 22, 23.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to re-open this case.

3. Petitioner's requests for an additional thirty days to file an amended petition (ECF Nos. 22, 23) are granted. Within thirty days of service of this order, petitioner shall file an amended petition. If petitioner does not file an amended petition, the case will proceed on the original petition.
