KATHLEEN DICKINSON, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has filed two motions seeking a court order

requiring prison officials to provide him with his legal property so that he may respond to

respondent’s pending motion to dismiss. In his motions, petitioner explains that he was recently

transferred from the department of mental health to administrative segregation and is pursuing

relief with respect to gaining access to his legal materials through the prison administrative

grievance process. Under these circumstances, the court will deny petitioner’s motions without

prejudice and will grant him an additional forty-five days to respond to the motion to dismiss. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s October 5, 2010 and October 13, 2010 motions (Doc. Nos. 40 &

44) are denied without prejudice; and
