`Re.: Lloyd v. Morton
`Doc. 18-CV-6979 / 23-357
`
`I am writing the court to request an extension oftime to file my writ of certiorari. My
`criminal caseis in New York State and my litigationiis under federal habeas corpus in the
`U.S. Court ofAppeals oftheSecond Circuit. As you mayditeady be aware the New York
`State Department of Corrections in February 2025 under went a State emergency due to
`an illegal strike on the part of correctional officers. The Governor consequently ordered
`the National Guards to man the prisons throughout New York State. Eastern Correctional
`Facility was under.a twenty «one day shut down. The normalavailable access to the law
`library material research and preparation wasinterfered. Thefacility is still under
`
`staffed and substituted by the national guards to date.
`
`I recently understand access to the law library has resume to normalcall out
`
`scheduling. Due to such circumstances suffered by the statewide facility shut down ask
`the court to extend the 90 day timelimit to file my writ.
