IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GIOVONTE DOUGLAS,

Petitioner,

v.

UNKNOWN,

Respondent.

No. 2:20-CV-0597-DMC-P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the Court is petitioner’s motion for a 

90-day extension of time to file his petition. See ECF No. 1. 

In his motion, petitioner states that his one-year filing deadline under the AntiTerrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) expires “June 18, 2020. . . .” Id. at 1. 

Because, by petitioner’s own statement, the deadline to file his federal habeas corpus action has 

not yet expired, petitioner’s motion for an extension of time is denied as unnecessary. Petitioner 

shall file a petition on the form employed by this Court within 30 days. The failure to do so may 

result in dismissal of the action. See Local Rule 110.

days of the date of this order; and
