In this capital habeas corpus action, the petitioner, Avram Vineto Nika,

13 represented by appointed counsel, filed a motion to alter or amend the judgment
14 (ECF No. 189) on July 9, 2019. Respondents filed an opposition to that motion on
15 September 5, 2019 (ECF No. 196). Nika has until Monday, October 7, 2019, to file his
16 reply in support of the motion. See Order entered July 26, 2019 (ECF No. 193) (30 days
17 for reply); Order entered August 26, 2019 (ECF No. 195) (same).
18

On September 12, 2019, Nika filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 197),

19 requesting an extension of time to September 19, 2019, to file the reply in support of his
20 motion to alter or amend the judgment. But, as Nika already has until October 7, 2019,
21 to file the reply, the motion for extension of time is unnecessary, and it will be denied on
22 that ground.
