IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DIANNA PRESTON, aka DONNA

MAE PRESTON,

Petitioner, 

 v.

MARY LATTIMER, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 09-2262 WHA (PR) 

ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION

OF TIME; DENYING MOTION FOR

APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL AND

REQUEST FOR LEAVE TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Docket Nos. 12, 15, 16)

Good cause appearing, respondent’s motion for an extension of time, to and including

May 14, 2010, in which to file an answer (docket number 16) is GRANTED. If petitioner wishes

to file a traverse, she shall do so within thirty days of the date the answer is filed. 

Petitioner’s motion for appointment of counsel (docket number 12) is DENIED. 

Petitioner has presented his claims adequately in the petition, and they are not particularly

complex. The interests of justice do not require appointment of counsel at this stage of the case.

As petitioner has paid the filing fee, her application to proceed in forma pauperis (docket

number 15) is DENIED as moot. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 13 , 2010.
