ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE OBJECTIONS

TO REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

(Doc. 15)

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a petition for

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On October 1, 2004, Petitioner filed the instant Petition. (Doc. 1). On May 2, 2005, the

Court issued a Report and Recommendations that the Petition be dismissed with prejudice as

untimely and in violation of the one-year statute of limitations in 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d), and to

deny various related miscellaneous motions. (Doc. 13). The Report and Recommendations

afforded all parties a thirty-day period within which to file objections, or until June 6, 2005. 

(Id.). On May 16, 2005, Petitioner filed a motion for a thirty-day extension of time to file

objections to the Report and Recommendations. (Id.).

Although Petitioner still has ample time to file objections within the original time period,

given his current difficulties in obtaining access to the prison law library, the Court will grant his

request for a thirty-day extension of time.

ORDER

Good cause appearing therefore, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that Petitioner’s Motion

for Extension of Time of thirty (30) days to file objections to the May 2, 2005 Report and

Recommendations, is GRANTED (Doc. 15), up to an including July 6, 2005.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
