Lenz argues that he should have the remainder of this period, or until March 1, 2005, to actually file his petition in this court. However, Lenz has already invoked the jurisdiction of this court and the court thus has the power and responsibility to administer this litigation. While it is true that Lenz’s looming execution date required him to seek the court’s protection before the one-year period had elapsed, it is often the case that practicalities prompt a claimant to file a legal action long before the statute of limitations might run. In these circumstances, Lenz is no different from other litigants. See Dowthitt v. Johnson, No. H-98-3282, 1998 WL 1986954, at *1 (S.D.Tex. Dec. 2, 1998) (<HOLDING>).
