PETITIONER

NO.5:11cv00273 KGB-JTR

RAY HOBBS, Director,
Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT

ORDER
Respondent has filed a Response (docket entry #12) arguing that Petitioner’s
28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas claims are barred by the one-year statute of limitations, are
procedurally defaulted due to Petitioner’s failure to properly raise them in state court,
or were reasonably adjudicated by the state courts. By previous Order (docket entry
#13), the Court directed Petitioner to file a Reply addressing the arguments for
dismissal. The Court has learned that this Order was never mailed to Petitioner.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT Petitioner is directed to file, on or
before June 11, 2012, a Reply addressing the arguments for dismissal raised in the
Response.
DATED this 24th day of May, 2012.
