IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NGUYEN DAOTIEN,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-03-1252 DFL CMK P

vs.

BILL LOCKYER, 

Respondent.

 / ORDER

On January 30, 2007, the court filed amended findings and recommendations

recommending that petitioner’s application for a writ of habeas corpus be denied. Petitioner

sought and was granted an extension of time to file objections until March 16, 2007. On March

20, 2007, petitioner filed another request for an extension of time to file objections. Petitioner

states that he needs additional time because he is in negotiations with an attorney to represent

him in this matter. The court notes that since September (since the filing of the court’s original

findings and recommendations) petitioner has been representing to the court that he is seeking

attorney representation. Petitioner has had approximately six months to find representation.

Additionally, petitioner’s habeas application was filed in 2003; thus giving him

over three years to find suitable counsel. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT petitioner’s March 20, 2007 request for an

extension of time is denied. 

DATED: March 21, 2007.
