IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID SOTO,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-04-1432 LKK DAD P

vs.

EDWARD S. ALAMEIDA, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On February 13, 2007 and March 29, 2007, petitioner filed

documents which the court construes as requests for the status of this action. Court records

indicate that on December 16, 2005, respondents filed their answer to the petition. Pursuant to

the court’s order of July 29, 2004, petitioner’s traverse, if any, was to be filed within 30 days of

the service of the answer. Petitioner did not file a traverse within the period of time provided. 

Accordingly, the matter stands submitted for decision at this time. 

Because petitioner may have been confused as to the time for filing a traverse, in

the interest of justice the court will grant petitioner an extension of time to file his traverse, if

any. Thereafter, the matter will stand submitted and in due course, the court will issue its

findings and recommendations. Petitioner is informed that because of the court’s caseload, a

response to inquiries about the status of his case cannot always be provided. As long as the

petitioner keeps the court informed of any change of address, no further action is necessary.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within thirty days from the service

of this order, petitioner shall file his traverse, if any.

DATED: April 16, 2007.
