RICHARD DENSON,
Petitioner,
vs.
DWIGHT NEVEN, et al.,

Case No. 2:15-cv-01473-APG-PAL
ORDER

Respondents.
_____________________________/
In this habeas corpus action, brought pro se by Nevada prisoner Richard Denson, Denson is

11

due to file an amended petition for writ of habeas corpus by March 28, 2017. See Order entered

12

January 26, 2017 (ECF No. 24).

13

On March 17, 2017, Denson filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 26), requesting

14

that the time for him to file an amended petition be extended by 60 days. The court finds that

15

Denson’s request is made in good faith, and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is

16

good cause for the extension of time he requests. The court will grant Denson a 63-day extension of

17

time, to May 30, 2017 (May 27 is a Saturday; Monday, May 29, is a holiday).

18

Denson is cautioned, however: the court will not be inclined to further extend this deadline.

19

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for extension of time (ECF No.

20

26) is GRANTED. Petitioner will have until and including May 30, 2017, to file an amended

21

petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to the Order entered January 26, 2017 (ECF No. 24).

22

Dated: March 21, 2017.
