United States Second Circuit

In a matter brought by habeas petitioner, motion for an extension of time to file motions to proceed in forma pauperis and for certificate of appealability with respect to writ of habeas corpus is granted where: 1) local district rules required respondent to provide petitioner with copies of unreported decisions or decisions reported exclusively on computerized databases that were cited in its opposition to the habeas petition; and 2) petitioner could not access, without cost, some of the federal case law that formed part of the substantive basis of the district court's challenged opinion.
