Valentin A. Corrales, Petitioner v. Calvin Johnson, et al., Respondents
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME WITHOUT PREJUDICE BECAUSE CASE IS CLOSED [ECF NO. 5]
Jennifer A. Dorsey, U.S. Distinct Judge
Petitioner Valentin A. Corrales, a pro se Nevada prisoner, did not properly commence an action in this Court because he failed to (1) file a petition stating grounds for relief and (2) either pay the standard filing fee or file a complete application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). Although Corrales filed motions for appointment of counsel and for an evidentiary hearing in which he referred to a petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, he did not file a petition. On June 13, 2022, the Clerk of the Court sent Corrales two copies of 2254 petition forms, but Corrales did not file a petition. On July 26, 2022, the Court dismissed this action without prejudice, entered judgment, and closed this case.
ECF Nos. 1-1 and 1-2.
ECF No. 4.
On August 17, 2022, Corrales filed a Motion for Enlargement of Time requesting an extension of time to file an IFP application. Unfortunately, Corrales may no longer file documents in this case because it is a closed case.
ECF No. 5.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the motion for enlargement of time [ECF No. 5] is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE because this case is now closed. If Corrales wishes to submit any filings or requests for relief, he must present them in a new case with a new case number and submit proper documents to initiate the case. Corrales may no longer file any documents in this closed case, except for a motion seeking reconsideration of this order or relief from the judgment entered. v.
