“[W]e conclude that the court’s decision was entirely proper. When dismissing Newell’s first petition, the district court did not have the benefit of our decisions in Freeman v. Page, 208 F.3d 572 , 577 (7th Cir.2000), and [Tinker v. Hanks, 172 F.3d 990 , 991 (7th Cir.1999) ], which suggest that the federal action should have been stayed, not dismissed, while the Indiana court ruled on Newell’s pending motion.... By vacating the dismissal, the district court effectively converted it into a stay; this could not have been an abuse of discretion because we now know that staying the action was the right step to take in the first place.”
