IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIE BOLDEN,

Petitioner, No. 2:09-cv-2769 FCD JFM (HC)

vs.

JOHN HAVILAND,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Respondent filed an answer to the petition on

November 30, 2009. Petitioner’s traverse was due January 4, 2010. Petitioner did not file a

traverse. Before the court is petitioner’s February 23, 2010 motion for relief from judgment. 

Petitioner asserts he was unable to file his traverse in a timely manner due to a medical condition

for which he was hospitalized. Because a judgment has not yet issued in this case, petitioner’s 

motion is more properly construed as a motion for an extension of time to file a traverse.
