POINTS AND AUTHORITIES

2

Petitioner Victor Torres-Mejia respectfully asks this Court to enter an Order

3

extending his deadline of December 10, 2020 for filing his Reply to Respondents’

4

Answer by 31 days, or until January 11, 2021. Respondents do not oppose this

5

request. This is Torres-Mejia’s first request for an extension.

6

Although undersigned counsel has been diligently working on Torres-Mejia’s

7

reply, counsel has other filing deadlines around the same time. In addition, counsel

8

has yet to be able to contact Torres-Mejia to discuss this Reply with him. An extension

9

of time to file the reply is necessary given the complexity of Torres-Mejia’s case and

10

counsel’s other obligations.

11

This is Torres-Mejia’s first request for an extension on his reply.

12

On November 30, 2020, counsel for Respondents, Deputy Attorney General

13

Gerri Hardcastle, indicated by email that Respondents do not oppose this request

14

with the understanding that the lack of objection is not waiver of any procedural

15

defenses or statute of limitations challenges or construed as agreeing with the

16

accuracy of the representations made in this Motion.

17

Dated November 30, 2020.

18

Respectfully submitted,
