Case No. 15-cv-01536-HSG 

ORDER REQUIRING RESPONDENT 

TO FILE SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF

Petitioner, an inmate at Kern Valley State Prison,1 has filed this pro se action for a writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Respondent has moved to dismiss the petition as 

untimely. Within thirty (30) days of the state of this order, Respondent is ordered to file a 

supplemental brief addressing whether Petitioner is entitled to statutory tolling pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2) (tolling the one-year limitations period for the “time during which a properly 

filed application for State post-conviction or other collateral review with respect to the pertinent 

judgment or claim is pending”). In particular, Respondent shall specify when Petitioner’s state 

habeas petition was filed in Santa Clara Superior Court. Respondent shall also file with the Court 

copies of any state court filings that are relevant to the issue of statutory tolling that have not 

previously been filed. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 6, 2016
