IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HAROLD H HAWKS,

Petitioner,

JAMES HAMLET,

Respondent.

 /

No. C 04-01822 JSW

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE

SUPPLEMENTAL TRAVERSE

This matter comes before the Court upon consideration of petitioner’s motion for an

extension of time to file his supplemental traverse. 

On August 24, 2005, the Court granted respondent leave to amend his answer but also

granted petitioner leave to supplement his traverse. The Court ordered the petitioner to file his

supplemental traverse within 30 days of that Order. Petitioner requests additional time to file

his traverse because of what he contends is the uncertain precedential value of Sass v. California

Board of Prison Terms, 376 F. Supp. 2d 975 (E.D. Cal. 2005). The Court does not find this to

be sufficiently good cause to extend the briefing schedule previously ordered. Accordingly, the

motion seeking a thirty day extension of time is DENIED. 

In light of the fact that petitioner’s motion was filed shortly before the deadline, the

Court shall grant petitioner a short extension and his supplemental brief shall be due on

Monday, September 26, 2005. There shall be no further extensions of time. If the Sass opinion
