RAUL LOPEZ,

Respondent.

ORDER GRANTING SECOND MOTION TO 

EXTEND TIME

(Doc. 60)

On August 22, 2016, the Court issued an order directing petitioner Damous D. Nettles to 

notify the Court within 45 days whether he wishes his habeas petition to be recharacterized as an 

action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, pursuant to the Ninth Circuit’s 6-5 en banc decision in 

this case. (Doc. No. 55.) On October 7, 2016, the Court granted an extension until December 5,

2016, for petitioner to file his notice because he intended to file with the U.S. Supreme Court a 

petition for writ of certiorari to review the Ninth Circuit’s decision.

On October 21, 2016, Petitioner filed the petition for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme 

Court. See Nettles v. Grounds, No. 16-6556. The petition was denied on January 9, 2017. (Doc. 

60) Counsel is awaiting Mr. Nettles’ decision about whether he wishes the action to be 

recharacterized as a § 1983 action and requests additional time to receive this response. Id. at 2. 

Good cause appearing, the Court ORDERS that the deadline for petitioner to notify the 

Court whether he wishes his habeas petition to be recharacterized as an action under 42 U.S.C. §
