Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

18
28 U.S.C. § 2254. On September 13, 2017, the court entered an order directing petitioner to show
19
cause why his petition should not be dismissed as untimely and for failing to state a cognizable
20
federal habeas claim. ECF No. 8. On October 12, 2017, petitioner filed a motion for a ninety day
21
extension of time. ECF No. 11. He states that the “jailhouse lawyer” who was assisting him has
22
been removed from the prison yard along with the relevant transcripts and court papers. Id. at 1.
23
Petitioner also requests another copy of the court’s show-cause order. Id. Good cause being
24
shown, his motion will be granted.
25
It is, therefore, ordered that:
26
1.
Petitioner’s request for an extension of time (ECF No. 90) is GRANTED and his
27
response to the show cause order is due ninety days from the date of this order’s entry; and
