17

This matter comes before the Court on the Government’s motion requesting an extension

18

of time to answer Petitioner’s Section 2255 Petition (Dkt. No. 6). 1 Given the scope and nature of

19

the remaining claims in Mr. Verkler’s petition, the Court finds good cause to GRANT the motion

20

The Court notes that this motion has not yet noted. The Court finds it appropriate to
make a ruling at this time because a response will not change the Court’s analysis, and a timely
ruling will allow the Government to take full advantage of the limited extension granted.
