ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S
SECOND MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME
JAMES KEY,
12
Respondent.
13
Petitioner, who is proceeding pro se, has filed a motion for extension of time to respond
14
15
to respondent’s answer in this 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas action. Finding good cause, the Court
16
GRANTS petitioner’s request for an extension of time, Dkt. 16. Petitioner shall file his
17
response on or before May 30, 2017, and respondent may file a reply on or before June 2,
18
2017.
19
Petitioner also asks for copies of documents that he filed electronically. Dkt. 16 at 1.
20
The U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Washington recently
21
promulgated Administrative Procedures for prisoner e-filing. The Administrative Procedures
22
clarify that because prisoners retain original copies of the documents they e-file, they will not
23
receive free electronic copies of those documents. Accordingly, the Court DENIES
24
petitioner’s request for free electronic copies of his e-filed documents.
