DYLAN SCOTT CORRAL,

Petitioner,

v.

No. 2:14-cv-3007 KJN P

ORDER

WARDEN, FOLSOM STATE PRISON,

15

Respondent.

16
Petitioner is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel. On June 15, 2015, petitioner

17
18

filed a motion to stay the instant case based on his housing in a mental health crisis bed.

19

Petitioner states he does not have access to “any legal documents,” and claims he should be

20

released in about two months. (ECF No. 15.)
At present, petitioner is not facing an imminent deadline. Rather, respondent is required

21
22

to file a responsive pleading on or before July 8, 2015. (ECF No. 12.) Thus, a stay of this action

23

is not warranted. However, because petitioner anticipates being housed in the mental health

24

facility for the next two months, the undersigned will grant petitioner an extension of time in

25

which to file his reply to the responsive pleading.

26

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

27

1. Petitioner’s motion for stay (ECF No. 15) is denied without prejudice; and

28

////

2. Petitioner is granted sixty days from the date respondent files a responsive pleading in

2

which to file either (a) a reply, if the responsive pleading is an answer; or (b) an opposition, if the

3

responsive pleading is a motion.
