Order Extending Time

Acting Warden, et al.,

[ECF No. 13]

Respondents

I previously dismissed pro se petitioner Lester Selander’s petition for a writ of habeas

11

corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 as untimely,1 judgment was entered, and this case was closed.2

12

Selander then filed a motion for an extension of time to prepare “his opposition and motion for

13

rehearing.”3 I construe Selander’s motion as a request for more time to file a motion for

14

reconsideration. This is Selander’s first request for an extension of time, and I find that it is

15

made in good faith and, because this case has already been dismissed, cannot be for the sole

16

purpose of delay.

17
18

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Selander’s time-extension motion [ECF
No. 13] is GRANTED. Selander has until March 23, 2018, to file the motion.

19

DATED: February 6, 2018.
