Correction RESPONDENT

 ORDER

Before the Court is the Petitioner's motion to extend time to comply with the

Court’s order of June 13, 2005, directing Petitioner to inform the Court by July 15, 2005,

why his petition should not be dismissed as time barred. See docket entry # 7. In his

motion, Petitioner asks this Court to postpone further proceedings on his petition until

he is able to obtain all police reports and witness statements and a copy of the plea

agreement. He asserts that these documents are needed to show the Court why his

petition should not be dismissed as time barred. However, he does not explain how the

documents are relevant to the issue of time bar. Under the circumstances, the Court

denies Petitioner’s motion to extend time to comply with the Court’s order of June 13,

2005, and orders the Petitioner to inform the Court by September 30, 2005, why his

petition should not be dismissed as time barred. Petitioner's failure to comply with this
