UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNETH WAYNE KRANTZ,

Petitioner,

v.

D. ADAMS, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 06-00877 LJO DLB HC

SECOND ORDER DIRECTING

RESPONDENT TO SUBMIT FURTHER

BRIEFING 

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Petitioner filed the instant petition on July 11, 2006. On November 13, 2006, Respondent

filed a motion to dismiss the petition as time-barred. (Court Doc. 7.) Petitioner filed an

opposition on December 7, 2006. (Court Doc. 8.) Pursuant to this Court’s order, Respondent

filed a reply to Petitioner’s opposition on August 2, 2007. (Court Doc. 14.) Petitioner filed a

sur-reply on August 27, 2007. (Court Doc. 15.)

After a thorough review of the documents, the Court finds that in order to resolve the

motion to dismiss further briefing is necessary. In his sur-reply, Petitioner contends, among other

things, that he waited several months to receive a copy of the transcripts from the Board of Parole

Hearing and that he filed an administrative appeal on January 24, 2004. These contentions have

not been addressed by Respondent and may very well have relevance to the analysis regarding

the statute of limitations.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within twenty (20) days from the date of service of this order, Respondent shall

file a response to Petitioner’s sur-reply addressing, but not limited to, Petitioner’s

Petitioner may file a reply.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
