IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRIAN LEE PARKER,

Petitioner,

 v.

LARRY SMALL,

Respondent. /

No. C 09-03989 WHA

ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION

FOR PETITIONER’S TRAVERSE 

Petitioner sought leave to stay and abet the instant habeas action so that he could

exhaust certain unexhausted claims in the California Supreme Court. After additional briefing

on this issue, his motion was denied. Pursuant to the order requesting additional briefing,

petitioner’s traverse should have been filed no later than April 23, 2010. Petitioner, however,

has not filed a timely traverse.

Under 28 U.S.C. 2248, where petitioner does not file a traverse, the allegations in the

government's response are accepted as true except to the extent the evidence in the record

shows that they are not true. Nevertheless, because a traverse will be useful to the

determination of the merits of his habeas motion, petitioner shall be given another opportunity. 

The deadline for petitioner to file his traverse shall be extended to AUGUST 26, 2010, AT NOON.

If petitioner fails to meet this deadline, it is likely that his habeas petition shall be decided

without the benefit of a traverse.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
