ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF LAUGHING
HORSE ROBINSON’S REQUEST FOR AN
EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO THE
COURT’S ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
(Doc. 4)
30-DAY DEADLINE

18

David Laughing Horse Robinson seeks additional time to respond to the Court’s order to show

19

cause requiring him to demonstrate why the matter should not be dismissed for lack of standing (Doc.

20

2). Though his request is not clear, seemingly, he seeks 60 days additional time. However, except for

21

explaining that he did not anticipate the Court’s order, he makes no showing why he cannot respond in

22

a shorter amount of time and, as a matter of policy, this Court does not grant extensions of time greater

23

than 30 days. Moreover, given that the Court’s order issued on January 10, 2017, the request for

24

additional time was not sought until January 20, 2017 and the Court is granting 30 additional days

25

(plus three days for mailing), this is just about a week short of the time requested. Thus, the Court
