IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOEL BRIDGEFORTH,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-01-0679 RRB JFM P

vs.

A.C. NEWLAND, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

 Petitioner is a state court prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On January 12, 2006, this court issued findings and

recommendations which recommended that the petition be denied. Petitioner has requested an

extension of time to file and serve objections to the January 12, 2006, findings and

recommendations. This request will be granted. Petitioner also requests that this court obtain

transcripts from the state trial court which he contends are necessary to a determination of the

Marsden claim raised in his habeas corpus petition. This request will be denied for lack of good

cause shown. Petitioner has failed to establish that the state court proceedings to which he refers

are necessary to or dispositive of the Marsden claim raised in the habeas petition.
