ORDER

CRAIG KELLISON, Magistrate Judge

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with counsel, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner's motion for an extension of time (Doc. 54), filed on January 16, 2008.

On December 19, 2007, the court issued findings and recommendations and provided for objections to be filed within 20 days of the date of service thereof. Petitioner now seeks a 30-day extension of that deadline. Good cause appearing therefor, the request will be granted. Petitioner is reminded that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal any order adopting the findings and recommendations.Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner's motion for an extension of time is granted; and

2. Within 30 days after being served with this order, any party may file written objections with the court, such document to be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations."
