ORDER SUA SPONTE GRANTING

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE

ANSWER OR MOTION TO

DISMISS

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus

challenging his 2011 criminal conviction in Alameda County. On February 8, 2016, the court

reviewed petitioner’s petition, and directed respondent to show cause why the petition should not

be granted. 

Unfortunately, the court’s February 8, 2016 order was never served on respondent nor

provided to the Office of the Attorney General. Therefore, the court sua sponte GRANTS an

extension of time within which respondent shall file an answer or a motion to dismiss. 

Respondent’s answer or motion to dismiss shall be filed within sixty (60) days of the filing date

of this order. If respondent files an answer, petitioner may respond by filing a traverse with the

court and serving it on respondent within thirty days of the filing date of the answer.

If respondent files a motion to dismiss on procedural grounds in lieu of an answer,

petitioner shall file with the court and serve on respondent an opposition or statement of nonopposition within twenty-eight days of the filing date of the motion, and respondent shall file
