Respondents.

ORDER

_______________________________/

15

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

16

respondents filed an answer to Turpening’s petition for writ of habeas corpus on May 10, 2017

17

(ECF No. 15). Turpening’s reply to respondents’ answer is due on July 10, 2017. See Order entered

18

January 12, 2017 (ECF No. 3) (60 days for reply).

19

On April 7, 2017, the court granted a motion made by Turpening requesting an extension of

20

his prison copywork debt limit, and extended his copywork debt limit by $50. See Order entered

21

April 7, 2017 (ECF No. 14). On May 19, 2017, Turpening filed another motion for extension of his

22

prison copywork debt limit (ECF No. 17). In that motion, Turpening does not mention the April 7

23

order extending his copywork debt limit by $50. Turpening does not explain why he needs another

24

extension of his copywork debt limit. Moreover, the record reflects that Turpening’s only filing in

25

this case since his copywork debt limit was extended on April 7, has been his second motion to

26

extend his copywork debt limit.

1

Under these circumstances, the court will deny Turpening’s second motion to extend his

2

copywork debt limit. Turpening does not show that another extension is necessary to allow him to

3

complete his litigation of this action. There is no showing of good cause to grant the second

4

extension.
