ORDER REOPENING CASE;

GRANTING PETITIONER’S

MOTION FOR

ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO

FILE SECOND AMENDED

PETITION

(Docket No. 22) 

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On February 6, 2004, the Court ordered Respondent to

show cause why the writ of habeas corpus should not be granted. Respondent filed a

motion to dismiss the petition for failure to exhaust state remedies and Petitioner filed a

memorandum in opposition to the motion to dismiss. On March 18, 2005, the Court

granted Respondent’s motion to dismiss the instant petition and dismissed the petition

with leave to amend. Petitioner filed an amended petition containing his two exhausted

claims and a motion to stay the amended petition while he returned to state court to

exhaust his remaining claims. On April 28, 2005, the Court granted Petitioner’s motion

to stay the amended petition and administratively closed this action in order for

Order Reopening Case; Granting Petitioner’s Motion for Enlargement of Time to File Second Amended Petition

P:\pro-se\sj.jf\hc.03\Carroll636ext 2

Petitioner to exhaust his remaining claims in state court. 

On April 11, 2006, Petitioner filed a notice of exhaustion with the Court and

included a copy of the California Supreme Court’s summary denial of his state habeas

petition, filed on March 29, 2006. On April 24, 2006, Petitioner filed a motion for

enlargement of time to file his second amended petition including all of his claims. 

Accordingly, the Court will RE-OPEN the instant action. The Court concludes that

Petitioner has shown good cause for an extension of time to file a second amended

petition. Petitioner’s motion for enlargement of time (docket no. 22) is GRANTED. 

Petitioner shall file his second amended petition on or before June 30, 2006. 

Petitioner’s request to take judicial notice of the accompanying declarations and

exhibits is unnecessary as the accompany declarations are verified. The Court notes that

Petitioner requests an order directing prison officials to provide Petitioner, and his

fellow inmate assisting him with the instant petition, physical law library access to

research and type the second amended petition. However, Petitioner may simply review

his original petition containing all of his claims and may handwrite the second amended

petition if necessary. 

CONCLUSION

The Clerk shall administratively REOPEN this action. Petitioner’s request for

enlargement of time to file his second amended petition (docket no. 22) is GRANTED. 

Petitioner shall file his second amended petition on or before June 30, 2006. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
