The following excerpt is from Dixon v. Baker, No. 14-16644 (9th Cir. 2017):
We review de novo an order dismissing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus based on a failure to exhaust state-court remedies. Rhoades v. Henry, 638 F.3d 1027, 1034 (9th Cir. 2010). The denial of a stay and abeyance, on the other hand, is reviewed under the abuse-of-discretion standard. Blake v. Baker, 745 F.3d 977, 980 (9th Cir. 2014).
