ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF

TIME FOR RESPONDENT TO FILE

OPPOSITION TO PETITIONER'S

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND

PETITION

Petitioner William Russell Garrett, a prisoner of the State of California incarcerated at

California State Prison - Los Angeles, filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. The Court issued an order to show cause requiring Respondent to show cause

why the petition for a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted. Respondent filed an answer on

April 30, 2007. Petitioner filed a traverse on May 25, 2007.

Before the Court is Petitioner's "Motion for Order Granting Leave to Amend Petition for

Habeas Corpus" (docket no. 22) in which Petitioner seeks to amend his petition to add related claims

that have been exhausted in the state supreme court.1 In its March 20, 2008 Order Denying Motion

for Appointment of Counsel and Setting Briefing Schedule on Petitioner's Motion for Leave to

Amend Petition, the Court noted that Petitioner had a pending request to amend his petition and

issued a further briefing schedule. Respondent was directed to file an opposition to the request to

amend his petition within thirty days of the March 20, 2008 Order. Petitioner has since filed the

above-referenced motion to amend. To date, Respondent has not filed an opposition to Petitioner's

motion to amend pursuant to the March 20, 2008 Order. In light of Petitioner filing a new motion to

amend, the Court directs Respondent to file an opposition to Petitioner's motion to amend within
