ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENT TO

SUBMIT REPLY TO PETITIONER’S

OPPOSITION

[Doc. 11]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On January 29, 2007, Respondent filed a motion to dismiss the instant petition as timebarred. Petitioner filed an opposition on February 20, 2007. (Court Doc. 11.) 

In his opposition, Petitioner contends that the statute of limitations did not begin to run

until October 29, 2004, when the July 1, 2004, Board of Prison Term’s decision was approved by

the BPT headquarters and that limitations period should be equitably tolled until his prior

attorney returned the case file to him. 

The Court finds that further briefing by the parties is necessary to resolve the claims

raised by Petitioner. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within twenty (20) days from the date of service of this order, Respondent shall

file a reply to Petitioner’s opposition addressing the claims raised therein; and

2. Within twenty (20) days from the date Respondent files his reply, Petitioner may
