ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION

Case No. 1:15-cv-01578-LJO-EPG-HC
JOHN SOTO,
15
(ECF Nos. 29, 30)
Respondent.
16
17
Petitioner is proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28
18 U.S.C. § 2254. On March 29, 2017, the undersigned issued findings and recommendation to
19 grant Respondent’s motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 28).
20
On April 10, 2017, the Court received two motions from Petitioner. (ECF Nos. 29, 30).
21 Both contain requests for extensions of time so that Petitioner can obtain documents supporting
22 his equitable tolling claim. In light of the procedural posture of the case, the Court construes the
23 instant motions as motions for extension of time to object to the findings and recommendation.
24 See Castro v. United States, 540 U.S. 375, 381-82 (2003) (courts may recharacterize a pro se
25 motion to “create a better correspondence between the substance of a pro se motion’s claim and
26 its underlying legal basis”).
