1 2 3 4 5 6 7 FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 8 9 10 HAROLD HARVEY HAWKS, Petitioner, v. BEN CURRY, Respondent. / 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 The Court has received Petitioner's Third Motion for An Extension of Time to File his Traverse. On May 12, 2008, the Court granted Petitioner's second motion for an extension of time and stated that it would be the final extension. This is the fourth case pending before this Court relating to Mr. Hawks' parole and, therefore, the Court is familiar both with the facts of the underlying offense, the prior proceedings before the parole board, and the legal issues presented by the Petition. Although the Court appreciates that counsel's workload has made it difficult for him to complete the traverse in a timely fashion, the Court does not find good cause to grant the request. Accordingly, the motion is DENIED IN PART. Because counsel filed for the extension on the date on which the Traverse was due, and because the Court does not wish to penalize Petitioner for counsel's workload, the Court shall grant Petitioner until Wednesday June 11, // // // No. 07-05039 JSW ORDER DENYING IN PART THIRD MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
