ORDER

MICHAEL BUDGE, et al.

13

Respondents.

14
15

Petitioner’s motion (#78) for extension of time is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN

16

PART, such that petitioner’s deadline under the Court’s prior order (#77) is extended one day

17

to March 22, 2012. The Court perhaps has not impressed upon counsel the extent to which

18

extensions of the deadlines set under the prior order are not favored. The Court is not

19

seeking expediency in the abstract. It instead is seeking to determine whether this case may

20

be subject to at least an interim resolution in advance of a hard March 30, 2012,

21

Congressionally-mandated reporting deadline under the Civil Justice Reform Act.

22

Respondents’ counsel is directed to coordinate with petitioner’s counsel and contact

23

prison authorities to facilitate counsel being able to confer with petitioner by telephone

24

at the earliest possible juncture consistent with correctional officials’ overriding

25

security concerns.

26

DATED: March 22, 2012.
