November 13, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ORDER. Petitioner's request to submit the state-court record through his sister, via electronic medium, is denied. Additionally, the Court will not permit Petitioner to supplement his Petition in piecemeal fashion, so the Clerk is directed to unfile Petitioner's unauthorized supplemental document (Dkt. No. 14). However, the Court will give Petitioner an opportunity to file a final, complete amended petition, containing all of his grounds for relief. Petitioner's motion for an extension of time is granted. Petitioner must file his final, complete amended petition, and any brief in support of his petition, within 40 days of the date of this order. As a result, the Court stays all deadlines imposed on Respondent by its October 26, 2023 order.

The Clerk will send Petitioner a Section 2254 form marked "amended" and stamped with this cause number for his use in complying with this order. **Clerk's Note: amended Section 2254 form mailed under cover of this Order to Petitioner.
