ORDER
Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.
On October 25, 2007, this court ordered Respondent to file a response to Petitioner's petition. On November 14, 2007, Petitioner filed a traverse. However, Respondent has yet to file a responsive pleading.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

2. If the Respondent files an answer, Petitioner's traverse, if any, may then be filed and served within thirty-five (35) days after service of the answer; and
3. If the response to the habeas petition is a motion, Petitioner's opposition or statement of non-opposition to the motion shall be filed and served within thirty-five (35) days after service of the motion, and Respondents' reply, if any, shall be filed and served within fourteen (14) days thereafter.
