UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

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. The matter has been referred to the Magistrate Judge 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rules 302 and 303. 

Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s motion for leave to file a 

supplemental traverse, which was filed on September 11, 2013.

Petitioner filed a previous motion for leave to file a 

supplement to his traverse on July 15, 2013 (doc. 20). The Court 

issued an order setting a briefing schedule on the motion on August 

9, 2013, and the Court is awaiting Respondent’s opposition to the 

motion, and thereafter Petitioner’s reply.

On September 11, 2013, Petitioner filed another motion for 

leave to file a supplement to the traverse (doc. 22).

A court has inherent power to control its docket and the 

disposition of its cases with economy of time and effort for both 

the court and the parties. Landis v. North American Co., 299 U.S. 

248, 254-255 (1936); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th 

Cir. 1992). The Court exercises its discretion to set a briefing 

schedule with respect to Petitioner’s motion for the benefit of the 

Court and the parties. 

Respondent shall FILE no later than thirty (30) days after the 

date of service of this order opposition or notice of non-opposition 

to Petitioner’s motion.

Petitioner may FILE a reply to any opposition filed by 

Respondent to the motion no later than thirty (30) days after the 

date of service upon Petitioner of any opposition filed by 

Respondent.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
