No. 4:12-CV-2108-JAR

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Petitioner’s Request for More Time. [ECF No. 10] On
November 9, 2012, Petitioner filed his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. (Doc. No. 1) The
Court entered a Case Management Order on November 20, 2012, ordering Respondent to show
cause, in writing and within forty-five (45) days, why the relief requested in the petition should
not be granted. (Doc. No. 6) The Court further ordered Petitioner to file any reply within sixty
(60) days of the date the answer to the petition was filed. (Id.) Respondent filed his Response to
Order to Show Cause on December 17, 2012. (Doc. No. 9) Thus, Petitioner’s reply is due no
later than February 17, 2013. Although Petitioner filed his request for more time on January 2,
2013, he does not provide the Court with an explanation for his need for additional time or how
much additional time he needs. The Court will, therefore, deny Petitioner’s request and grant
him leave to refile.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner’s Request for More Time [10] is DENIED
without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is granted leave to refile his request with

an explanation for his need for additional time and how much additional time he needs.

Dated this 3rd day of January, 2013.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
