UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID ANDREW REDD

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 11-cv-1275 LAB (WMc)

ORDER GRANTING

RESPONDENT’S MOTION FOR

EXTENSION OF TIME 

[DOC. NO. 7.]

vs.

TRIMBLE, WARDEN, ET. AL.

Defendants.

The Court has received Respondent’s application for an enlargement of time to file a

response. [ECF. No. 7.] Good cause appearing, Respondent’s application is GRANTED. 

IT IS ORDERED that:

a. If Respondent contends the Petition can be decided without the Court’s

reaching the merits of Petitioner’s claims (e.g., because Respondent contends

Petitioner has failed to exhaust any state remedies as to any ground for relief

alleged in the Petition, or that the Petition is barred by the statute of

limitations, or that the Petition is subject to dismissal under Rule 9 of the

Rules Governing § 2254 Cases, or that all of the claims are procedurally

defaulted, or that Petitioner is not in custody), Respondent shall file a motion

to dismiss pursuant to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing § 2254 Cases no later

than September 23, 2011. The motion to dismiss shall not address the merits

of Petitioner’s claims, but rather shall address all grounds upon which

If Respondent contends Petitioner has failed to exhaust any state remedies as to any ground

for relief alleged in the Petition, the motion to dismiss shall also specify the state remedies still

available to Petitioner.

- 2 - 11-cv-1275 LAB (WMc)

Respondent contends dismissal without reaching the merits of Petitioner’s

claims is warranted.1

 At the time the motion to dismiss is filed, Respondent

shall lodge with the Court all records bearing on Respondent’s contention in

this regard. A hearing date is not required for the motion to dismiss.

b. If Respondent files a motion to dismiss, Petitioner shall file his opposition,

if any, to the motion no later than October 24, 2011. At the time the

opposition is filed, Petitioner shall lodge with the Court any records not

lodged by Respondent which Petitioner believes may be relevant to the

Court’s determination of the motion.

c. Unless the Court orders otherwise, Respondent shall not file a reply to

Petitioner’s opposition to a motion to dismiss. If the motion is denied, the

Court will afford Respondent adequate time to respond to Petitioner’s claims

on the merits.

d. If Respondent does not contend that the Petition can be decided without the

Court reaching the merits of Petitioner’s claims, Respondent shall file and

serve an answer to the Petition, and a memorandum of points and authorities

in support of such answer, pursuant to Rule 5 of the Rules Governing § 2254

Cases no later than September 30, 2011. At the time the answer is filed,

Respondent shall lodge with the Court all records bearing on the merits of

Petitioner’s claims. The lodgments shall be accompanied by a notice of

lodgment which shall be captioned “Notice of Lodgment in 28 U.S.C.

§ 2254 Habeas Corpus Case — To Be Sent to Clerk’s Office.” 

Respondent shall not combine separate pleadings, orders or other items into a

combined lodgment entry. Each item shall be numbered separately and

sequentially.

e. Petitioner may file a traverse to matters raised in the answer no later than

October 28, 2011. Any traverse by Petitioner (a) shall state whether

Petitioner admits or denies each allegation of fact contained in the answer;

(b) shall be limited to facts or arguments responsive to matters raised in the

answer; and (c) shall not raise new grounds for relief that were not asserted in

the Petition. Grounds for relief withheld until the traverse will not be

considered. No traverse shall exceed ten (10) pages in length absent advance

leave of Court for good cause shown.

f. A request by a party for an extension of time within which to file any of the

pleadings required by this Order should be made in advance of the due date

of the pleading, and the Court will grant such a request only upon a showing

of good cause. Any such request shall be accompanied by a declaration

under penalty of perjury explaining why an extension of time is necessary.

g. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, this case shall be deemed submitted

on the day following the date Petitioner’s opposition to a motion to dismiss

and/or his traverse is due.

h. Every document delivered to the Court must include a certificate of service

attesting that a copy of such document was served on opposing counsel (or on

the opposing party, if such party is not represented by counsel). Any

document delivered to the Court without a certificate of service will be

returned to the submitting party and will be disregarded by the Court.

i. Petitioner shall immediately notify the Court and counsel for Respondent of

any change of Petitioner’s address. If Petitioner fails to keep the Court

informed of where Petitioner may be contacted, this action will be subject to

dismissal for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: August 30, 2011
