MEMORANDUM ORDER
Counsel for respondent Warden Michael Atchison in this
Section 2254 habeas case has requested a 30-day extension of the
March 25 due date to file the response to Gilberto Gonzalez’ pro
se Petition.

This Court grants that motion, which is grounded in

the asserted need by the Illinois Attorney General’s office to
assemble the documents required to address the question of the
Petition’s timeliness or untimeliness, an issue posed by this
Court’s January 17 and February 20, 2013 opinions.

This

memorandum order is occasioned by the hope that no further
extensions will be needed, so that if the Petition survives
scrutiny as to its timeliness this Court can promptly turn to the
merits of Gonzalez’ claims.
