IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MACK A. WEST, JR.,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-3147 FCD DAD P

vs.

KATHLEEN DICKINSON, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

On September 7, 2010, respondent filed a motion to dismiss petitioner’s

application for a writ of habeas corpus due to petitioner’s failure to exhaust his claims in state

court. Petitioner has filed several requests for an extension of time to oppose the motion, all of

which the court has granted. Petitioner, who recently transferred to a new prison, seeks one more

extension of time to file his opposition in the form of a motion for a stay and abeyance. In the

interest of justice, the court will grant petitioner a final extension of time to respond to

respondent’s motion.

Petitioner also previously filed a motion for preliminary injunctive relief seeking a

court order allowing him access to his legal materials. As noted above, petitioner has since

transferred to a new prison. Therefore, the court will deny his motion for preliminary injunctive
