IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DALE THOMPSON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-1158 GEB GGH P

vs.

TOM L. CAREY, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Respondent has filed a request that this case be stayed pending a ruling by the Ninth 

Circuit in Sass v. California Board of Prison Terms, Case No. 05-16455, after which respondent

seeks thirty days to file an answer to the petition. Respondent makes no showing as to why a

motion to reconsider or an appeal could not be filed, should there be a ruling favorable for

respondent in Sass. Moreover, the exigencies of this court’s calendar does not lend itself to the

granting of such a lengthy time extension to file an answer.
