More than 19 years after the California Supreme Court denied his Petition for Review, see People v. Dunlap, No. S089291, 2000 Cal. LEXIS 6023 (Jul. 26, 2000), Petitioner filed the instant Petition. The Petition states that Petitioner has filed no prior state habeas petitions (Petition at 3- 4), and the Court’s review of the state courts’ website indicates that, on September 30, 2019, Petitioner filed in the California Supreme Court his first and only state habeas petition.
