EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE 

TRAVERSE 

 

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging his state conviction. The Court directed 

Respondent to file an answer showing cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not be 

issued. (Docket No. 32.) On March 22, 2019, Respondent filed an answer. (Docket No. 

35.) On July 15, 2019, the Court granted Petitioner’s request for a third extension of time 

file a traverse due to limited access to the library, among other reasons, such that the 

traverse was due no later than July 29, 2019. (Docket No. 44.) 

On July 29, 2019, Petitioner filed a letter indicating that he has recently been

has not received any response to his request for a third extension of time. (Docket No. 46.) 

In the interest of justice, the Court sua sponte grants Petitioner another extension of time to
