ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO

SUBMIT REPLY TO PETITIONER’S

OPPOSITION ADDRESSING ISSUE OF

EQUITABLE TOLLING

[Doc. 17]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1), the parties have consented to

the jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge. 

On November 20, 2009, Respondent filed a motion to dismiss the petition as untimely

under § 2244(d). Petitioner filed a timely opposition on February 18, 2010. (Court Doc. 17.) 

Petitioner raises several grounds he claims he is entitled to equitable tolling, including, but not

limited to, mental incompetency. The Court finds it necessary for Respondent to address

Petitioner’s claims. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that within thirty (30) days from the

date of service of this order, Respondent shall file a reply to Petitioner’s opposition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 2, 2010 /s/ Dennis L. Beck
