IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TERRY KEEVER,

Petitioner,

v.

B. GOWER,

Respondent.

1:15-cv-01504 MJS HC

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO DISMISS 

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

[Doc. 16]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On December 11, 2015, Petitioner filed a motion 

to dismiss Respondent’s motion for extension of time. (ECF No. 16.) Petitioner contends 

that the motion for extension of time should be denied as the copies of the motion he 

received were printed on both sides of the page, and therefore allegedly in violation of 

Local Rule 130. 

While Local Rule 130 specifies that conventionally filed documents and courtesy 

copies must only be filed as single sided documents, it does not appear to describe how 

copies of documents provided to parties not filing electronically must be filed. Assuming 

that Respondent sent a copy of the motion to Petitioner copied on both sides of the 

page, Respondent is not in violation of Local Rule 130. Further, even if Respondent was 

in violation of Local Rule 130, Petitioner has shown no harm from the format of the 

Case 1:15-cv-01504-EPG Document 19 Filed 09/12/16 Page 1 of 2

Petitioner’s motion to dismiss the motion for extension of time (ECF No. 16.) is 

DENIED as MOOT. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
