UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCOS PALOMAR,

Petitioner,

v.

RAYMOND MADDEN,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01279-DAD-SAB-HC

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S 

MOTION REQUESTING TO FILE A 

SUPPLEMENT TO TRAVERSE

(ECF No. 21)

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On December 18, 2015, Petitioner filed his traverse, which requested that the Court 

construe the attached state court appellate brief (prepared by counsel on direct appeal) as his 

traverse. (ECF No. 14). On December 28, 2015, Petitioner filed the instant motion requesting to 

file a supplement to his traverse. (ECF No. 21). Petitioner indicates that he is being assisted by 

another inmate in this matter due to his lack of knowledge of the law and his limited English 

abilities. Petitioner argues that in order to adequately respond to the fifty-page answer filed by 

Respondent, he needs to be afforded the opportunity to strengthen and further develop the 

arguments set forth in the traverse.
