United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIE A. TORRENCE,

Petitioner,

v.

ROBERT NEUSCHMID,

Respondent.

Case No. 19-cv-05214-SI 

ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE

Re: Dkt. No. 21

Petitioner’s request for an extension of the deadline to file his traverse is GRANTED. 

Docket No. 21. Petitioner must file his traverse no later than May 1, 2020. 

Petitioner is now informed that a traverse is permitted but is not required. See Rule 5(e) of 

the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases In The United States District Courts. In other words, the 

Court will not draw any adverse inference from the mere failure to file a traverse. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 20, 2020
