ORDER


Petitioner requests a thirty day extension of time to file a notice of appeal of the January 14, 2011, order denying his application for writ of habeas corpus.

Based upon Petitioner's representations, the request for additional time will be granted. Petitioner shall comply with the requirements of Rule 3(c)(1) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure relative to his notice of appeal.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner's January 28, 2011, request for an extension of time to file a notice of appeal is granted; and

2. Petitioner has an additional thirty days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal of the January 14, 2011, order denying his petition for writ of habeas corpus.
