ORDER granting petitioner's Motion to Amend 8 and Motion for Extension of Time 13 Signed by District Judge George Caram Steeh. (MBea)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
DWIGHT MOSLEY,
Case Number: 2:15-CV-12631
HONORABLE GEORGE CARAM STEEH

Petitioner,
v.
TONY TREIWEILER,
Respondent.
/

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO AMEND (ECF No. 8)
AND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME (ECF No. 13)
Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.
Now before the Court are Petitioner’s Motion to Amend and Letter-Motion for Extension of
Time.
Fed. R. App. P. 15(a)(2) allows a party to amend a pleading by leave of court and
provides that the court “should freely give leave when justice so requires.” Petitioner’s
request to amend his petition does not appear to be made in bad faith or to be an attempt to
delay the proceedings. The Court will grant the motion.
Also before the Court is Petitioner’s Motion for Extension of Time. The Court’s
Order Requiring Responsive Pleading permitted Petitioner 45 days from the filing of a
responsive pleading to file a reply. The Court finds that an enlargement of time is warranted
and shall grant the motion.
The Court GRANTS Petitioner’s Motion to Amend (ECF No. 8) and Petitioner’s
amended petition (ECF No. 9) is accepted for filing.

The Court further GRANTS

Petitioner’s Motion for Extension of Time (ECF No. 13) and Petitioner’s reply (ECF No. 12)
and amended reply (ECF No. 14) are accepted as timely filed.
