                                       _________________
        This appeal is now before us on remand from the Supreme Court, House v. Bell, 126 S. Ct.
2064 (2006). In light of the Court’s opinion (and the Tennessee attorney general’s statement in
respondent’s brief before the Supreme Court that unexhausted issues remain under Tenn. Code. Ann.
§ 40-30-117(a)(2)(4)), we ask that the parties submit letter briefs addressing whether remand to the
courts of Tennessee is appropriate in order to allow petitioner to exhaust his state-court remedies
on his actual innocence claim.
       Letter briefs shall be due within sixty days of this order and shall not exceed fifteen pages.

                                              ENTERED BY ORDER OF THE COURT
