JULIUS BRADFORD,

CALVIN JOHNSON, et al.,

Respondents.

Case No. 2:13-cv-01784-RFB-EJY
ORDER

11
12

In this habeas corpus action, Petitioner Julius Bradford, who now appears pro se,

13

was due on March 21, 2023, to file a third amended habeas petition. See ECF No. 203.

14

On March 20, 2023, Bradford filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 204),

15

requesting a 62-day extension of time, to May 22, 2023, to file his third amended petition

16

(May 20 is a Saturday). Bradford states that he needs the extension of time because his

17

time in the prison law library has been limited and because he is awaiting information

18

related to a particular claim. The Court determines that Bradford’s motion for extension

19

of time is made in good faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is

20

good cause for the extension of time he requests.

21

On April 3, 2023, apparently believing his March 20 motion for extension of time

22

was not electronically transmitted to the Court in the usual manner, Bradford resubmitted

23

the motion for extension of time, by mail, along with a motion for leave to file the motion

24

for extension of time. ECF No. 205. Bradford’s motion for extension of time (ECF No. 204)

25

was in fact filed on March 20, 2023; therefore, the motion for leave to file (ECF No. 205)

26

is unnecessary and moot, and it will be denied on those grounds.
