CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:16-CV-198

ORDER
The petitioner, Clarence Martin (TDCJ #01640933), seeks a federal writ of habeas
corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to challenge a state court conviction. Because it appears
that his petition is barred by the governing one-year statute of limitations found in 28
U.S.C. § 2244(d), the Court ordered Martin to show cause why this case should not be
dismissed as time-barred (Dkt. 7). Martin has requested an additional 45 days to respond.
That request (Dkt. 8) is GRANTED. Martin’s new deadline is November 21, 2017.
The Clerk of this Court shall send a copy of this Order to the parties.
SIGNED at Galveston, Texas, this 29th day of September, 2017.
