ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF TIME
BRIAN A. TSUCHIDA, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Petitioner proceeds pro se and in forma pauperis in this 28 U.S.C. §2254 federal habeas action.
On November 21, 2023, Petitioner moved for an extension of time to file his response to Respondent's response/answer to the petition. Dkt. 21. Petitioner seeks a ninety (90) day extension of time to file his response noting that he has mental health issues and needs additional time to read through the large box of records sent by Respondent.
On November 29, 2023, Petitioner filed a response to Respondent's response/answer but noted that he is still requesting additional time to read through the records and to file an amended response. Dkt. 22.
Petitioner's motion for extension (Dkt. 21) is GRANTED to the extent that he may file an amended response on or before December 29, 2023. Respondent may file a reply to petitioner's response, or to the amended response if one is filed, on or before January 5, 2024. The Clerk is directed to re-note the Respondent's response/answer (Dkt. 17) to January 5, 2024.
