United States District Court
For the Northern District of California

10

This is a civil rights case filed pro se by a state prisoner. The Court granted Defendants’

11

motion for summary judgment. Judgment was entered on April 13, 2011. On April 28, 2011,

12

Plaintiff filed a motion for a thirty-day extension of time to appeal, supported by a declaration in

13

which he says that he is only allowed to visit the prison law library once a month, and that for

14

only two hours. A notice of appeal is a very simple document, but even so at least one visit to

15

the law library might be necessary to find a form or research the required content. Good cause

16

having been shown, Plaintiff’s motion to extend the time to appeal (document number 86 on the

17

docket) is GRANTED. See Fed. R.App.P. 4(a)(5). The time to appeal is extended to June 13,

18

2011.

19

This Order terminates docket number 86.

20

IT IS SO ORDERED.
