IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALBERT MOUSA,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-2037 MCE JFM P

vs.

TOM CAREY (Warden), et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding through counsel with an application for a

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On December 19, 2005, respondents filed a

motion to dismiss. On January 27, 2006, petitioner filed a motion for an extension of time to file

an opposition to the motion. 

In the motion, respondents contend that petitioner has no federally protected

liberty interest in parole under California law. To support that contention, respondent relies on

an order of the district court in Sass v. California Board of Prison Terms, 376 F.Supp.2d 975

(E.D.Cal. 2005). The Sass case is set for oral argument in the United States Court of Appeals for

the Ninth Circuit on March 16, 2006. Good cause appearing, respondents’ motion will be denied

without prejudice to its renewal, as appropriate, not later than thirty days after any decision by the

court of appeals in Sass.
