Petitioner filed a § 2254 Petition for federal habeas relief
asserting four grounds for relief. (D.I. l.) Respondents filed
a Response in May 2007 arguing that the Petition should be denied
as procedurally barred due to Petitioner’s failure to present his
claims to the Delaware Supreme Court on direct appeal or on post-
conviction appeal. (D.I. l0.) Soon thereafter, Petitioner filed
in the Delaware Superior Court a Rule Gl motion for post-
conviction relief, which the Superior Court summarily denied in
July 2007. See State v. Chambers, 2007 WL 19872788 (Del. Super.
Ct. July 9, 2007). The Court cannot review the instant Petition
without further information regarding Petitioner’s state court
proceedings. Therefore, no later than January 4, 2008,
Respondents shall: (l) supplement the state court record with the
most recent Delaware Superior Court Criminal Docket involving
Petitioner’s case; (2) supplement the state court record with any
state court decisions issued after May l7, 2007 that may be

relevant to the instant proceeding; and (3) inform the Court in
writing the effect, if any, such state court proceedings have on
the instant Petition.
