UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TERRANCE CONLEY,

Petitioner,

v.

K.M. POWERS, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 05-0822 OWW SMS HC

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO

FILE OPPOSITION TO MOTION TO DISMISS,

AND DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

SERVE DOCUMENT

[Doc. 15]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On December 23, 2005, Respondent filed a motion to dismiss the instant petition. On

January 17, 2006, Petitioner filed an extension of time. Although Petitioner does not indicate the

need for an extension of time, the Court presumes it is to file an opposition to Respondent’s motion. 

First, the Court notes that Petitioner did not attach a copy of a proof of service to his motion

indicating that he served a copy of the motion on Respondent. Pursuant to the Local Rules and the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, all pleadings filed with the Court must be served on the opposing

party. Local Rule 5-135(b); Fed.R.Civ.P. 5. In this one instance, the Court will excuse Petitioner’s

failure to serve Respondent and direct the Clerk of this Court to serve a copy of Petitioner’s motion

on Respondent as a courtesy. However, Petitioner is advised that future failure to serve Respondent

will all documents filed in this action will result in the document being stricken from the record

without consideration by the Court.
