NEVADA ATTORNEY GENERAL, et al.,

Case No. 2:16-cv-00813-RFB-GWF

Respondents.
This habeas matter is before the Court on Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration (ECF
No. 141). Also before the Court is Respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of Time (ECF No. 147).
In March 2021, the Court found good cause to grant Respondents’ motion for enlargement
of time to respond to or otherwise answer the second amended petition. ECF No. 140. Petitioner
requests that the Court reconsider its order granting a 60-day extension of time and argues that a
30-day extension is reasonable. Petitioner’s motion lacks merit and the Court denies his motion
for reconsideration.
Good cause appearing, the Court grants Respondents’ request for an additional 30 days to
file their reply to Petitioner’s opposition to Respondents’ motion to dismiss. Respondents have
until July 9, 2021 to file their reply.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration (ECF No.
141) is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of Time (ECF
No. 147) is GRANTED.
DATED this 28th day of June 2021.
