UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BENJAMIN S. GARCIA,

Petitioner,

v.

JIM HAMLET,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 02-5878 AWI DLB HC

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTIONS

[Docs. 50, 61, 66]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s motion for discovery, filed September 14, 2005,

and Petitioner’s motion for permission to submit late evidence in support of his argument for

equitable tolling, filed October 7, 2005. 

In his September 14, 2005, motion for discovery, Petitioner requests that Respondent

submit a mail-out log sheet from Corcoran State Prison to demonstrate that he mailed a writ of

habeas corpus petition to the California Supreme Court in December of 1999. 

In his October 7, 2005, motion to submit late evidence, Petitioner seeks to submit

evidence in support of his argument for equitable tolling. 

On December 6, 2005, the Court granted Respondent’s request to withdraw his motion

for reconsideration of the prior order denying his motion to dismiss the instant petition. As such,

the case is now ready for review on the merits, and the issue of timeliness has been resolved.
