In this habeas corpus action, after a 90-day extension of time, the petitioner, Debaron

16

Sanders, was due to file an amended habeas petition by January 10, 2017. See Order entered

17

July 14, 2016 (ECF No. 31); Order entered October 14, 2016 (ECF No. 36). Sanders is represented

18

by attorney William Gamage, who was appointed to represent Sanders on July 14, 2016 (ECF No.

19

31), and who made an initial appearance on Sanders’ behalf on July 25, 2016 (ECF Nos. 32, 33).

20

Gamage did not file an amended petition for Sanders by January 10, 2017, when it was due.

21

Moreover, over the following month, Gamage did not file any motion for extension of time, or any

22

other document, and did not take any other action with respect to this case.

23

In the interests of justice, the court will extend to February 24, 2017, the time for Gamage to

24

file the amended petition. If Gamage does not meet that deadline, the court intends to enter an order

25

requiring Gamage to show cause why he should not be subject to sanctions and/or removed from his

26

representation of the petitioner in this case.
