ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

REQUESTS FOR EXTENSION OF

TIME

(Docket Nos. 21, 22)

Petitioner, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks a writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The Court initially denied Petitioner’s motion to stay the

instant petition and dismissed the petition with leave to amend in order for Petitioner to

identify all of his claims, both exhausted and unexhausted, that he intended to raise in this

Court. Petitioner filed a motion for extension of time, an amended petition, a renewed

motion to stay and abey his amended petition, and a motion for discovery. On April 25,

2007, the Court granted Petitioner’s motion for extension of time and granted Petitioner’s

motion to stay the amended petition. The Court denied Petitioner’s motion for discovery

without prejudice. The Court administratively closed the instant case and notified Petitioner

that he should present his unexhausted claims to the California Supreme Court within thirty

days. 

On May 14 and May 18, 2007, Petitioner filed letters with the Court requesting an

extension of time to file his unexhausted claims in the state supreme court and requesting a

copy of his amended petition. The Court concludes that Petitioner has shown good cause for

such extension. Petitioner’s requests for extension of time (docket nos. 21, 22) are

GRANTED. Petitioner shall present his unexhausted claims to the California Supreme Court

within thirty days of the date of this order.

The Court notes that Petitioner is required to pay for any copies of documents that he

needs, even if he is proceeding in forma pauperis in this action. However, the Court will

enclose a copy of the amended petition with this order. Any further requests for copies of

documents must be made by sending the enclosed form to the Clerk of Court with prepayment from Petitioner’s trust account. 

CONCLUSION

1. Petitioner’s requests for extension of time (docket nos. 21, 22) are GRANTED.

2. Petitioner shall present his unexhausted claims to the California Supreme Court

within thirty days of the date this order is filed.

3. Once the California Supreme Court has issued a decision on Petitioner’s 

additional claims, and if he has not obtained relief in state court, Petitioner shall promptly

notify this Court within thirty days of the California Supreme Court’s decision. 

4. The case shall remain administratively closed pending the stay 

of this action. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
