UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UDI FISHMAN,

Petitioner,

v.

GARY SWARTHOUT,

Respondent.

No. 2:13-cv-2421 GGH P

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 January 30, 2014, petitioner filed a notice of change of address 

and a request for access to the law library, claiming he been prohibited access for the past six 

weeks due to all his recent transfers. It is true that petitioner was transferred to different prisons 

three times between December 2013 and January, 2014. Nevertheless, the screening order 

directed that a response to the petition be filed within sixty days of the December 16, 2013 order, 

and has not yet been filed. A reply would not be due until thirty days after an answer or motion is 

served. Therefore, petitioner’s request is premature. If petitioner is denied library access when it 

is time to prepare his reply, petitioner may renew his motion at that time or request an extension 

of time in which to file such reply.
