CASE NO. 1:06-CV-06-OWW-TAG

GOVERNMENT’S MOTION AND ORDER

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME WITHIN

WHICH TO FILE A RETURN TO THE

SHOW CAUSE ORDER.

The United States of America, by and through McGREGOR W.

SCOTT, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of

California, and MARLON COBAR, Assistant United States Attorney,

hereby requests, for good-cause, a total of 14 days to submit the

response to the Court’s Order to Show Cause, dated April 21, 2006.

The Order was received by the United States Attorney’s Office

and by Agency Counsel on Monday April 24, 2006. The Order gave

the government “three (3) days of the date of service of this

order, not to exceed twenty (20) days, if extension is requested

for good cause” in order to file a return. The Court also

permitted the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) fourteen (14) days

to re-evaluate the Petitioner’s need for more than forty-three

(43) days of halfway house placement, without reference to 

28 C.F.R. §570.20-.21, but with consideration of the “sentencing

judge’s recommendation and all other Section 3621 factors, as well

as any other appropriate factors the BOP, in its discretion, finds

applicable.”

The United States Attorney’s Office has discussed the Order

with Agency Counsel, and respectfully requests that the Court

permit the return to the Show Cause Order be submitted to the

Court at the end of 14 days, along with the results of the BOP 

re-evaluation of Petitioner’s community placement needs. As the

Court has explained in the Order to Show Cause, this is a very

complex issue, and Agency Counsel believes that the results of the

re-evaluation may be important in preparation of the return.
