POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
1.
On September 12, 2016, Hunt filed an amended petition. ECF No. 22.
3
On December 12, 2016, Respondents filed their Answer. ECF No. 26. The reply is
4
currently due January 11, 2017.
5
2.
Petitioner seeks a first request for an extension of time to file his reply.
6
Petitioner requests an additional forty-four (44) days of time, up to and including
7
February 24, 2017, in which to file the reply. This is counsel’s first request for an
8
extension of time for this pleading.
9
3.
Counsel’s schedule and circumstances beyond his control has precluded
10
him from meeting the current deadline of January 11, 2017. While counsel has begun
11
to work on the reply, an extension of time to file the pleading is necessary due to
12
counsel’s schedule and filing obligations. Since the time that the Answer was filed,
13
counsel had to go on multiple prison visits. Counsel had to file several pleading with
14
the Ninth Circuit, including an en banc petition. Counsel also had to draft two
15
significant pleadings in federal district court cases. In addition, counsel was out of
16
the office on vacation for close to two weeks in December. Finally, counsel has an
17
oral argument scheduled in the Ninth Circuit on the same day in which this pleading
18
is due. The oral argument has required a great deal of attention and preparation.
19
4.
Therefore, counsel seeks an additional forty-four (44) days, up to and
20
including February 24, 2017, in which to file the reply. Counsel previously requested
21
two extensions of time to file the amended petition.
22
23
24
25
5.
On January 5, 2017, Senior Deputy Attorney General Dennis Wilson
informed counsel that he did not object to this request.
6.
This motion is not filed for the purpose of delay, but in the interests of
justice, as well as in the interest of Hunt. Counsel for Petitioner respectfully requests
26
3
1
that this Court grant this motion and order Petitioner to file the reply no later than
2
February 24, 2017.
