CV F 05-00541 OWW DLB HC

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S THIRTY

DAYS TO SUBMIT ANY AND ALL

FURTHER EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS

CLAIM FOR EQUITABLE TOLLING

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Now pending before the Court is Respondent’s motion to dismiss the instant petition as

time barred by the one-year statute of limitations. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1) and (2). Petitioner

filed an opposition on February 22, 2006. After the grant of an extension of time, Respondent

filed a reply on March 30, 2006. 

In his opposition, Petitioner states that “if any further documents are required and is

needed to prove said claims [of equitable tolling based on his mental condition], petitioner

respectfully requests, upon the court approval, time to obtain said documents.” (Opposition, at

5.) 

Because Petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating entitlement to equitable tolling

based on his mental condition, Petitioner will be given time to obtain and submit to this Court

any and all further support for his claim. The Court is unsure of what this documentation may

 Petitioner is advised that he not need, and should not, resubmit any evidence that has already been 1

submitted with his opposition to Respondent’s motion. Petitioner should submit any further evidence he feels has

any bearing on his claim for equitable tolling. 

 If Petitioner does not have further evidence to submit to this Court, he need file nothing in response to this 2

order and the Court will issue its ruling on the evidence already submitted to the Court.

be, but to the extent such further evidence in support of his claim exists, Petitioner must present

it to the Court for review. Thus, to ensure that this Court has a fully developed record before

issuing a ruling on Petitioner’s entitlement to equitable tolling, the Court will grant Petitioner

thirty days to submit further evidence in support of his claim for equitable tolling based on his

mental health condition. Based on the foregoing, Petitioner shall submit any further evidence he 1

may have in support of his claim for equitable tolling, within thirty (30) days from the date of

service of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
