IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN JEROME BARNES,

Petitioner,

 v.

JOE LIZARRAGA,

Respondent.

/

No. C 15-4199 WHA (PR) 

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

REOPEN TIME TO FILE AN

APPEAL

This is a habeas case brought pro se by a state prisoner under 28 U.S.C. 2254

challenging his sentence in state court. The petition was dismissed. The United States Court of

Appeals has construed his notice of appeal and his response to that court’s order to show cause

as a motion to reopen the time for filing an appeal pursuant to Rule 4(a)(6) of the Federal Rules

of Appellate Procedure, and has remanded the case for the limited purpose of deciding the

motion to reopen. Good cause appearing — in particular the delay in petitioner’s receiving the

notice of entry of judgment — the motion to reopen the time for filing an appeal is GRANTED.

The clerk shall send a copy of this order to the Court of Appeals.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 20 , 2016.
