JOSHUA RYAN GROW,

10

Case No. 3:17-cv-00637-MMD-WGC
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
11
12

JAMES DZURENDA, et al.,

13

Respondents.

14
15

In this habeas corpus action, Respondents filed their answer on November 5, 2018

16

(ECF No. 24). Petitioner Joshua Ryan Grow is now due to file a reply by January 4, 2019.

17

(See Order entered December 4, 2017 (ECF No. 6) (60 days for reply).)
On December 17, 2018, Grow filed a motion for extension of time and a motion for

18
19

appointment of counsel (ECF Nos. 29, 30, 31).

20

The Court has repeatedly denied Grow’s motions for appointment of counsel. (See

21

Order entered December 4, 2017 (ECF No. 6); Order entered December 27, 2017 (ECF

22

No. 12); Order entered August 23, 2018 (ECF No. 23).) The Court remains of the view

23

that appointment of counsel is unnecessary in this action. The motion for appointment will

24

be denied.

25

The Court will, however, grant Grow’s motion for extension of time. The Court finds

26

that Grow’s motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for the

27

purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for the extension of time requested.

28

///

1

It is therefore ordered that Grow’s motion for extension of time (ECF No. 29) is

2

granted. Grow will have until and including April 12, 2019, to file his reply to Respondents’

3

answer.

It is further ordered that Grow’s motion for appointment of counsel (ECF No. 30) is
denied.
DATED THIS 18th day of December 2018.
