UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALFONZO TRAYMAYNE LEE,

Petitioner,

v.

ANDRE MATEVOUSIAN,

Respondent.

No. 1:15-cv-01880-LJO-SKO

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S 

REQUEST TO POSTPONE LITIGATION 

OR EXTEND TIME

(Doc. 14)

Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, advises the Court that he is being relocated to another prison and 

requests that his petition be “postponed” or “extended.” The Court interprets the motion to be in 

the nature of a request for a stay. Petitioner offers no legal precedent for such a stay, and the 

Court is not aware of any such precedent. 

In the alternative, Petitioner requests an extension of time. At this time, granting an 

extension of the time in which Petitioner must file his reply (traverse) to the Respondent’s answer 

is premature. Respondent has not yet filed an answer or motion to dismiss. Petitioner does not 

need to do anything until Respondent files his response. At that time, if Petitioner’s relocation 

precludes his filing a reply (traverse), Petitioner may move for an extension of time in which to 

prepare and file it.

Accordingly, Petitioner’s motion for postponement of litigation or extension to resolve 

matters (Doc. 14) is hereby DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
