DOUGLAS WAYNE YOUNG, Petitioner, v. RANDY LEE and THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TENNESSEE, Respondents.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This is a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Now before the Court are a motion to compel and a motion for extension of time to file response/reply filed by Petitioner [Docs. 11 and 13]. In his motion to compel, Petitioner asserts that, while he received a copy of Respondent's notice of filing documents regarding his response to the § 2254 petition, he did not receive a copy of the response to the petition, and therefore requests that the Court order Respondent to send Petitioner a copy of his answer to the § 2254 petition [Doc. 11]. In his motion for extension of time to file his reply, Petitioner again asserts that he has not received a copy of the response to the § 2254 petition and requests that the Court grant him ninety (90) days from the date of Petitioner's receipt of the response to file a reply to the response [Doc. 14].
Petitioner's motion to compel [Doc. 11] is GRANTED to the extent that the Clerk is DIRECTED to send Petitioner a copy of Respondent's response to the § 2254 motion [Doc. 8], if she has not already done so. Petitioner's motion for extension of time to file his reply is GRANTED to the extent that Petitioner shall have forty-five (45) days from entry of this order to file any reply to the response to his § 2254 petition.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
