ORDER DENYING MOTION
FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT;
GRANTING EXTENSION OF
TIME TO FILE OPPOSITION
(Docket Nos. 14 & 17)
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28
17
U.S.C. § 2254. On May 29, 2013, respondent filed a motion to dismiss. (Docket No. 16.) On
18
July 5, 2013, petitioner filed a motion for an extension of time “to file my traverse to
19
respondent’s reply.” (Docket No. 17.) The court construes petitioner’s motion as a request for
20
an extension of time to file an opposition to respondent’s motion to dismiss.
21
Petitioner’s opposition to respondent’s motion to dismiss was due June 26, 2013.
22
Although petitioner’s motion for an extension of time is untimely, Petitioner’s motion is
23
GRANTED in the interest of justice. (Docket No. 17.) Petitioner must file an opposition to
24
respondent’s motion no later than twenty-eight (28) days from the date this order is filed. If
25
petitioner fails to file an opposition by the due date, respondent’s motion to dismiss will be
26
deemed submitted without opposition.
27
Petitioner has also filed a motion for default judgment. (Docket No. 14.) After receiving
28
an extension of time from the court (docket no. 13), respondent filed a timely motion to dismiss.
