OSSIE LEE SLAUGHTER, Petitioner, v. DANIEL WHITE, Respondent.
MINUTE ORDER
The following minute order is made by the direction of the court, the Honorable James L. Robart:
Before the court is Petitioner Ossie Lee Slaughter's motion for a 60-day extension of time to file his objections to Magistrate Judge Theresa L. Fricke's report and recommendation. (Mot. (Dkt. # 33); see R&R (Dkt. # 32) (recommending that the court dismiss Mr. Slaughter's 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition with prejudice).) Mr. Slaughter, who is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, explains that he needs more time to research and draft his objections because he has limited access to the law library at Monroe Correctional Complex, where he is incarcerated. (See generally Mot.)
The court GRANTS Mr. Slaughter's motion for a 60-day extension of time (Dkt. # 33). Mr. Slaughter shall file his objections by no later than Tuesday, March 14, 2023. The court will not further extend the deadline for Mr. Slaughter to file his objections absent a showing of exceptional circumstances. The clerk is DIRECTED to renote Magistrate Judge Fricke's report and recommendation (Dkt. # 32) on March 14, 2023.
