ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO

SUBMIT FURTHER BRIEFING

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Petitioner filed the instant petition on July 11, 2006. On November 13, 2006, Respondent

filed a motion to dismiss the petition as time-barred. Petitioner filed an opposition on December

7, 2006. 

In his opposition, Petitioner contends, among other things, that his petition is timely

under the mailbox rule and that he is entitled to equitable tolling based on the law library

closures at Corcoran State Prison. 

In order for the Court to resolve Respondent’s motion, the Court finds that further

briefing is necessary to resolve the above claims raised by Petitioner in his opposition. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within twenty (20) days from the date of service of this order, Respondent shall

file a reply addressing, but not limited to, the application of the mailbox rule and
