This action is a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254
by a Nevada state prisoner.
Petitioner has filed a motion for a 60-day extension of time in which to file a response to the

20

pending motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 58). Good cause appearing, petitioner is granted 60 days

21

from the date of entry of this order in which to file his response to the pending motion to dismiss.

22

Petitioner has also filed a motion to extend his prison copywork limit. (ECF No. 53).

23

Petitioner explains that he has reached or exceeded the limit for free copywork pursuant to the

24

Department of Corrections’ administrative regulation 722.12. Petitioner seeks a $20.00 extension of

25

copywork for documents relevant to this federal habeas corpus proceeding. Respondents oppose

26

petitioner’s motion. (ECF No. 57). Because petitioner seeks to file a response to the pending

27

motion to dismiss, the court recognizes that a reasonable copywork extension is warranted in this

28

instance.

1

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for an extension of time (ECF

2

No. 58) in which to file his response to the pending motion to dismiss is GRANTED. Within sixty

3

(60) days from the date of entry of this order, petitioner SHALL FILE his response to the motion.

4

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petitioner’s motion to extend his prison copywork limit

5

(ECF No. 53) is GRANTED. The Nevada Department of Corrections SHALL extend petitioner’s

6

prison copywork limit by $20.00.
