Following upon the notice (#8) of appearance by petitioner's counsel in this habeas
matter,

17

IT IS ORDERED that the Federal Public Defender's Office is appointed as counsel for

18

petitioner pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B), with Jonathan M. Kirshbaum, Esq.,

19

appearing as petitioner's counsel of record.

20

IT FURTHER IS ORDERED that petitioner shall have until up to and including thirty

21

(30) days from entry of this order within which to file an amended petition and/or seek other

22

appropriate relief. Neither the foregoing deadline nor any extension thereof signifies or will

23

signify any implied finding as to the expiration of the federal limitation period and/or of a basis

24

for tolling during the time period established. Petitioner at all times remains responsible for

25

calculating the running of the federal limitation period and timely asserting claims, without

26

regard to any deadlines established or extensions granted herein. That is, by setting a

27

deadline to amend the petition and/or by granting any extension thereof, the Court makes no

28

finding or representation that the petition, any amendments thereto, and/or any claims

1

contained therein are not subject to dismissal as untimely. See Sossa v. Diaz, 729 F.3d
