UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRANDON LEE NORRIS, Civil No. 07cv0945-J (POR)

Petitioner, ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S

APPLICATION FOR ENLARGEMENT

OF TIME TO FILE A TRAVERSE AS

MOOT; ORDER DENYING

PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR COURT

ORDERED ACCESS TO THE LAW

LIBRARY 

v.

DEBRA DEXTER, Warden,

Respondent.

On August 27, 2007, the Court received Petitioner’s application for enlargement of time to

file a traverse and a motion for court ordered access to the law library. In his application, Petitioner

states that the traverse is due on August 29, 2007. However, in the Court’s Order Granting

Respondent’s Application for Enlargement of Time filed on July 31, 2007, the traverse is due no

later than October 1, 2007. Accordingly, the court DENIES as MOOT Petitioner’s application for

enlargement of time to file a traverse. 

Petitioner also seeks a court order granting him access to the law library since access to the

library has been restricted due to the death of an inmate at the facility. (See Program Status Report

attached to motion.) Since the traverse is not due until October 1, 2007, access to the library may be

granted prior to that time. In addition, the Court notes that Petitioner is not required to present legal

issues in the petition or traverse, but merely state the factual basis for his claims. Rule 2, 28 U.S.C.
