DAVID L. RUNNELS, et al.,

Respondents.

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with appointed counsel and in forma

pauperis, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending

before the court is petitioner’s motion for an extension of time (Doc. 42), filed on December 6,

2005.

On November 3, 2005, the court approved a substitution of counsel for petitioner

and directed new counsel to respond to the court’s April 12, 2005, order requiring a status report

within 30 days. Petitioner now seeks a 60-day extension of that deadline in order to conduct
