FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BERTRAND THOMPSON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-03-01375 ALA HC

vs.

SILVIA GARCIA, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

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

under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On September 18, 2007 this court denied that petition. On September

28, 2007, Petitioner filed a request for an extension of time to file his notice of appeal. 

In a civil matter, a notice of appeal must be filed with the district clerk within thirty days. 

Fed. R. App. Pro. 4(a)(1)(A). However, a district court may extend the time to file a notice of

appeal if the party so moves within thirty days after the expiration of the original thirty days. Id.

at (5)(A)(I). Petitioner is well within the allotted time.
