Respondents.

ORDER

_______________________________/

15
16

In this habeas corpus action, brought by Nevada prisoner Aaron Lee Turpening, the

17

respondents are due to respond to Turpening’s petition for writ of habeas corpus by May 12, 2017.

18

See Order entered March 16, 2017 (ECF No. 11).

19

On March 24, 2017, Turpening filed a motion to extend prison copywork limit (ECF No. 12),

20

stating that, at the prison where he is incarcerated, he has reached the $100 debt limit for copies, and

21

he will need to make copies for this action; Turpening asks that the court order his copywork limit

22

extended. The court notes that Turpening does not claim that there is a specific need for copywork

23

in this case at this time, and the record reflects that there likely is not. Nonetheless, based on what

24

Turpening states in his motion, to insure that he is able to adequately litigate this action, and good

25

cause appearing, the court will order Turpening’s copywork limit extended by $50.
