UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JULIO CESAR IBANEZ, Civil No. 07cv1211-BEN (POR)

Petitioner,

ORDER DENYING RESPONDENT’S

MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF

TIME TO FILE A RESPONSE

[Doc. No. 8.]

v.

T. FELKER, Warden,

Respondent.

On July 2, 2007, Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On August 24, 2007, Respondent filed a motion for a 30 day

enlargement of time to respond to the petition. On August 27, 2007, the Court granted Respondent’s

motion for enlargement of time and ordered that Respondent file a motion to dismiss or Answer by

September 26, 2007. On September 24, 2007, Respondent filed another motion for 30 day enlargement

of time to file a response. 

After a review of the motion, the Court does not find good cause to grant the motion. 

Accordingly, the Court DENIES Respondent’s motion for enlargement of time to file a response.

However, in the interests of justice, the Court shall grant Respondent an additional week to file a

response. Respondent shall file and serve an answer to the Petition or a motion to dismiss pursuant to

Rule 5 of the Rules Governing § 2254 Cases no later than October 3, 2007. At the time the answer is

filed, Respondent shall lodge with the Court all records bearing on the merits of Petitioner’s claims. The

2. Petitioner may file a traverse to matters raised in the answer, or opposition to any motion

to dismiss, no later than November 2, 2007. Any traverse by Petitioner (a) shall state whether

Petitioner admits or denies each allegation of fact contained in the answer; (b) shall be limited to facts

or arguments responsive to matters raised in the answer; and (c) shall not raise new grounds for relief

that were not asserted in the Petition. Grounds for relief withheld until the traverse will not be

considered. No traverse shall exceed 10 pages in length absent advance leave of Court for good cause

shown.

3. A request by a party for an extension of time within which to file any of the pleadings

required by this Order should be made in advance of the due date of the pleading, and the Court

will grant such a request only upon a showing of good cause. Any such request shall be accompanied

by a declaration under penalty of perjury explaining why an extension of time is necessary.

4. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, this case shall be deemed submitted on the day

following the date Petitioner’s traverse is due.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
