UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID GRIFFIN,

Petitioner,

v.

CONNIE GIPSON,

Respondent.

No. 2:13-cv-2516 MCE GGH P 

No. 2:13-cv-2660 JAM GGH P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed an amended 

petition pursuant to order of the court. On April 24, 2014, petitioner filed a letter concerning both 

cases filed by him against Connie Gipson, 13-cv-2516, and 13-cv-2660, expressing confusion as 

to the status of both cases. 

In case number 13-cv-2516, respondent was ordered to file a response to the petition 

within sixty days of March 10, 2014. Petitioner is not required to file anything at the present 

time, but is directed to this court’s March 10th order in that case, for instructions in responding to 

respondent’s answer or motion to dismiss, to which he is expected to file a reply to an answer, or 

an opposition to a motion to dismiss.

In case number 13-cv-2660, in which this court recommended dismissal of the action, 

petitioner was granted an extension of time in which to file objections to the findings and 

recommendations, which were due within thirty days of April 2, 2014. Because the thirty days 

have already passed, this court will construe petitioner’s April 24, 2014 filing as a request for 

extension of time in which to file objections based on his confusion, and will grant the request. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s April 24, 2014 letter, construed as a request for extension of time in case 

number 13-cv-2660, is granted; 

2. Petitioner shall file objections to the findings and recommendations, filed March 4, 

2014, within thirty days of this order; and

3. The Clerk of the Court shall file this order in both cases 13-cv-2516 and 13-cv-2660.

Dated: May 7, 2014
