ORDER GRANTING

PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR

ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO

FILE TRAVERSE

(Docket No. 45) 

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On February 6, 2004, the Court ordered Respondent to

show cause why the writ of habeas corpus should not be granted. Respondent filed a

motion to dismiss the petition for failure to exhaust state remedies and Petitioner filed a

memorandum in opposition to the motion to dismiss. On March 18, 2005, the Court

granted Respondent’s motion to dismiss the instant petition and dismissed the petition

with leave to amend. On April 28, 2005, the Court granted Petitioner’s motion to stay

the amended petition and administratively closed this action in order for Petitioner to

exhaust his remaining claims in state court. 

On May 5, 2006, the Court re-opened the instant action and granted Petitioner an

extension of time to file a second amended petition. Petitioner filed a second amended

petition. Thereafter, the Court ordered Respondent to show cause why the second

amended petition should not be granted. Respondent filed an answer on November 9,

2006. On December 12, 2006, Petitioner filed a request for an enlargement of time to

file a traverse. On January 10, 2007, the Court granted Petitioner’s request for

enlargement of time and ordered Petitioner to file his traverse within thirty days. On

February 5, 2007, Petitioner filed a second request for an enlargement of time to file his

traverse. On March 7, 2007, the Court granted Petitioner’s request and ordered

Petitioner to file his traverse within thirty days. 

On March 27, 2007, Petitioner filed a third request for an enlargement of time to

file his traverse. The Court concludes that Petitioner has shown good cause for such

extension. Petitioner’s request for enlargement of time (docket no. 45) is GRANTED. 

Petitioner shall file his traverse, and serve a copy on Respondent, within thirty days of

the date this order is filed. Based on the length of time Petitioner has been given to

complete his traverse, further requests for extension of time are discouraged. 

It is Petitioner’s responsibility to prosecute this case. Petitioner is 

reminded that all communications with the Court must be served on Respondent by

mailing a true copy of the document to Respondent’s counsel. Petitioner must keep the

Court and all parties informed of any change of address by filing a separate paper

captioned “Notice of Change of Address.” Petitioner must comply with the Court’s

orders in a timely fashion. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this action for

failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
