At Wilmington this TV" day of September, 2007;
IT IS ORDERED that:
Petitioner Kenneth F. Reeder's letter,‘ which the court liberally construes as a
letter motion for an extension of time to file an amended § 2254 petition, is GRANTED.
(D.I. 7) Petitioner shall file his amended petition no later than September 21, 2007.
UNITED SiAT§ DISTRICT JUDGE
1Petitioner indicated on the AEDPA election form that he intended to file an
amended petition within 30 days. In this situation, an order permitting an amendment is
not necessary. Nevertheless, petitioner‘s letter states that he is unsure as to whether
he can file the amended petition without a further order from the court. Considering that
the 30 day period has expired, and given petitioner‘s alleged confusion, the court
construes the instant letter as a motion for an extension of time to file an amended
peuhon.
