RYAN, interim Director, Arizona Department of Corrections, No. 08-99003 D.C. No. 4:98-CV-00053-JMR District of Arizona, Tucson ORDER Respondent - Appellee. Before: WARDLAW, Circuit Judge. Petitioner has filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and Motion for Stay of Execution. Because the three-judge panel consisting of Judges Thomas, Gould, and Bybee has jurisdiction over Appeal No. 08-99003 and petitioner s execution is not imminent, the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and Motion for Stay of Execution is referred to the Clerk for determination by the three-judge panel. See Cir. R. 22-2(c) ( Once a case is assigned to a death penalty panel, the panel will handle all matters pertaining to the case . . . . ); Cir. R. 22-4(e) ( In all capital cases where petitioner seeks a stay of execution, the Clerk shall refer any motion for a stay of execution to the death penalty panel. ). IT IS SO ORDERED. 2
