United States District Court

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICKY RENE SANDERS,

Petitioner,

v.

FRED FOLK,

Respondent.

Case No. 18-cv-01558-SI 

ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE

Re: Dkt. No. 12

Petitioner’s request for an extension of the deadline to file his amended petition for writ of 

habeas corpus is GRANTED. Docket No. 12. Petitioner must file his amended petition no later 

than September 7, 2018. Failure to file the amended petition by that date will result in the 

dismissal of all deficient claims. Petitioner is reminded that he must pay the $5.00 filing fee by 

August 10, 2018, or the action may be dismissed. 

In his request for an extension of the deadline, petitioner mentioned the limited access to a 

typewriter and law library. As to the typewriter, petitioner is now informed that the court accepts 

handwritten filings, as long as they are legible, as well as typed documents from pro se litigants. 

As to the limited law library access, the court notes that petitioner may need to do some legal 

research but the vast majority of the deficiencies identified in the petition for writ of habeas corpus 

were inadequate descriptions of the facts in support of various claims. A petitioner does not need 

to be in the law library to write a statement of facts.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 27, 2018
