MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
ROB JEFFREYS, Director of Nebraska
Department of Correctional Services;

Respondent.

This matter is before the Court on a motion filed by Petitioner seeking a 30-day
extension of the October 3, 2024, deadline to respond to Respondent’s Motion for
Summary Judgment. Filing No. 25. This is Petitioner’s second motion to extend his
response deadline. See Filing No. 24. As cause, Petitioner submits that due to his
incarceration, the complexity of his case, and his limited access to the law library, he
requires additional time beyond the current October 3, 2024, deadline to complete his
brief. Filing No. 26.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s Motion, Filing No. 26, is GRANTED. Petitioner shall have until
October 24, 2024, to file a response to Respondent’s Answer.
2. The clerk’s office is directed to set the following pro se case management
deadline: October 24, 2024: check for Petitioner’s brief in response to Respondent’s
Motion for Summary Judgment.
