Case No. 3:14-cv-00187-MMD-WGC
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
RENEE BAKER, et al.,
Respondents.

14

This is a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254

15

filed by a Nevada state prisoner. On August 31, 2018, and September 6, 2018, the Court

16

ordered Respondents to supplement the record with, respectively, the transcripts of three

17

interviews played during the course of Petitioner’s trial and the jury instructions used

18

during Petitioner’s trial. (ECF Nos. 51, 52.) The Court ordered Respondents to file each

19

within ten days of its orders. On September 10, 2018, Respondents filed a motion for

20

extension of time. (ECF No. 53.) Respondents seek an extension of time to and including

21

October 10, 2018, to comply with the Court’s orders.

22

While the Court understands that Respondents’ counsel is out of the office this

23

week and has other matters to attend to this month, the documents ordered by the Court

24

are a part of the record in the underlying case and should have been included initially in

25

the record filed with this Court. Thus, complying with the Court’s order is only a matter of

26

locating the requested documents and filing them with the Court, which should not take

27

much time. Accordingly, the Court will grant Respondents a brief extension of time to

28

supplement the record as directed.

1

It is therefore ordered that Respondents’ motion for extension of time (ECF No.

2

53) is granted in part. Respondents will have until the close of business on September

3

24, 2018, to supplement the record with the aforementioned materials.

4

DATED THIS 11th day of September 2018.
