ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER'S 

SECOND REQUEST FOR EXTENSION

OF TIME TO FILE TRAVERSE

(DOCUMENT #25)

THIRTY DAY DEADLINE

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a habeas corpus action pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. On January 22, 2008, petitioner filed a motion to extend time to file his

traverse. The instant request is Petitioner’s second request for an extension of time to file a

traverse. (See Docs. 22, 24). 

In Petitioner’s prior request for an extension of time, filed December 17, 2007,

Petitioner sought a 90-day extension on the ground that the law library at the prison where he is

incarcerated has a 20-person capacity and restricted use. (Doc. 22). In Petitioner’s current

request for an extension of time, Petitioner seeks a 60-day extension on the ground that the

prison is on a “total emergency medical quarantine lockdown” and he does not have access to

the law library during the medical quarantine period.
