Case No. 3:07-cv-00304-LRH-WGC

This habeas matter is before the Court on Petitioner Brendan Nasby’s unopposed first
Motion for Extension of Time (ECF No. 203).

12

The Court has repeatedly warned: “Further extensions of time are not likely to be

13

granted absent compelling circumstances and a strong showing of good cause why the

14

briefing could not be completed within the extended time allowed despite the exercise of due

15

diligence. (See ECF Nos. 183, 190, 192, 198.) The Court has further directed both parties to

16

“prioritize the briefing in this case over later-filed matters.” (Id.)

17

Nasby now seeks a 45-day extension to file and serve a reply in support of the amended

18

petition’s remaining grounds. He provides detailed and compelling reasons why additional time

19

is necessary to complete the reply brief. The extension will therefore be granted. However,

20

moving forward, the Court’s instruction and warning remain in effect, and requests for lengthy

21

extensions will not be granted.

22

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED: Nasby’s unopposed first Motion for Enlargement of

23

Time (ECF No. 203) is GRANTED. Nasby has until December 3, 2020, to file and serve a reply

24

in support of the remaining grounds of the Amended Petition (ECF No. 176).

25

DATED this 15th day of October, 2020.
