IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JON STEVENS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-04-2124 MCE GGH P

vs.

TERESA SCHWARTZ, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner seeks a “stay” of thirty days, averring

that he has been in transport and out-to-court on a civil matter in Placer County Superior Court,

has not yet received respondent’s answer, and apparently intends to file a reply. See, Request

filed on June 3, 2005. 

A stay being inappropriate in these circumstances, the court will, instead construe

petitioner’s request as one for an extension of time and will grant petitioner a sixty-day extension

of time to file his reply. This extension should be adequate for petitioner to receive respondent’s

answer and for petitioner, thereafter, to compose, file and serve his reply.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s June 3, 2005 request for a “stay” is construed as a request for an

extension of time and, as such, is granted; 

2. Petitioner is granted sixty days from the date of this order in which to file and

serve a reply;

3. On this occasion only, because petitioner is not sure of his location in the

immediate future, the Clerk of the Court is directed to serve him both at his address of record at

CMF-Vacaville and at DVI/ P.O. Box 600/ Tracy, CA 95378.
