On July 21, 2014, Petitioner Ronald Thomas, a prisoner at High Desert State Prison, filed a

14

letter indicating that he wished to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On the same date, the

15

Clerk of the Court sent Thomas written notice that he must file a petition on the Court's form and

16

he must file a completed application to proceed informa pauperis ("IFP") within twenty-eight days

17

or his case would be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

18

On August 18, 2014, Thomas sent the Court another letter indicating that he was in a

19

locked-down situation without access to his legal papers or law library and requested an extension

20

of time to file the required documents. The Court grants Thomas' request for an extension of time.

21

His petition on the Court's form and completed IFP application are now due twenty-eight days

22

from the date of this order. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send Thomas the Court's form for

23

a writ of habeas corpus and the Court's IFP application.
