2007, Plaintiff filed a notice of change of address and the

motion for extension of time. Plaintiff was reserved with the

Order and Judgment on October 29, 2007. Plaintiff filed a Notice

of Appeal on November 5, 2007.

In the motion for extension of time, Plaintiff asserts that

he was released from custody on September 12, 2007, that he was

homeless at that time, and that he recently found employment and

a place to live. Plaintiff requested 30 days to respond to any

court orders.

Plaintiff’s motion for extension of time was filed within

the time prescribed by Rule 4(a)(1), Federal Rules of Appellate

Procedure. Plaintiff has shown cause for the requested extension

because he had not yet been served with the Order and Judgment

due to his release from custody. 

Plaintiff’s motion for extension of time to file the Notice

of Appeal is GRANTED.

The Clerk of the Court is ordered to serve a copy of this

Order on the Ninth Circuit.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
