Petitioner is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to why the Petition should not be dismissed as untimely. If Petitioner claims he is entitled to equitable tolling or other relief from the statute of limitations, he must provide specific information and reasons, not a general statement. Petitioner's response, or a written motion for an extension of time, must be received in writing by the Court within 30 DAYS of the date this Order is entered on the docket.
