UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SURGIO VALENCIA BALTAZAR,

Petitioner,

v.

KELLY SANTORO, Warden,

Respondent.

CASE NO. 1:13-cv-01538-BAM HC 

CORRECTIVE ORDER GRANTING 

PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF 

TIME TO SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD

(Docs. 41 & 43)

On December 21, 2015, the Court entered an order erroneously captioned “Order Granting 

Respondent’s Motion for Extension of Time to Supplement the Record.” Doc. 43. The order actually 

granted Petitioner’s motion for enlargement of time. Accordingly, the Court hereby STRIKES 

Document 43, and issues the following corrective order,

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

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.1 On April 14, 2015, Respondent filed a motion to dismiss contending that 

Petitioner’s claims two through six were time-barred. Petitioner opposed the motion, contending that 

Respondent failed to consider an additional habeas petition filed in the Merced County Superior Court 

on or about October 28, 2013. Thereafter, the parties have disputed whether Petitioner actually filed the 

petition in October 2013. On October 22, 2015, this Court entered an order permitting Petitioner to 

 

1

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1), both parties consented, in writing, to the jurisdiction of a United States Magistrate Judge 

to conduct all further proceedings in this case, including the entry of final judgment.

supplement the record within thirty days by providing documentation of his filing a petition in Merced 

County Superior Court in October 2013. 

Petitioner’s response was misdirected and erroneously filed as a new petition (No. 1:15-cv01687-JLT HC) on November 5, 2015. On December 17, 2015, Petitioner filed a statement authorizing 

the Court to close the erroneously opened case. He simultaneously filed a motion in the abovecaptioned case for thirty additional days to secure documentation from the prison mail logs confirming 

that the state petition was sent to the Merced County Superior Court in October 2013.

Resolution of the disputed state filing is in the interest of justice and constitutes good cause for 

an extension of time. Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that the time for Petitioner to supplement 

the record to document his filing a state habeas petition in the Merced County Superior Court in or about 

October 2013 be extended for thirty (30) days from the date of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
