Attorney for Petitioner, 

JO’VON JORDAN 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JO’VON JORDAN, 

 Petitioner, 

v. 

A. MALFI, Warden, et al, 

Respondents. 

Case No. CIV S-06-1599 JAM GGH P 

PETITIONER’S APPLICATION FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE REPLY; 

ORDER

Petitioner Jo’Von Jordan, by and through his counsel of record, requests a 14-day 

extension of time to file his Reply, from July 21, 2008 (current deadline) to August 4, 2008 

(requested new deadline). 

Petitioner submits that good cause exists for this extension, in that his counsel is a solo 

practitioner who has been ill in the past week, and has nearly completed the memorandum of 

points and authorities in reply, and needs the time requested in order to complete the papers. 

This is the fifth extension requested with respect to the Reply. Counsel is requesting 14 

days only; no further extensions are contemplated. Respondent’s counsel, Deputy Attorney 

General Harry Colombo, has stated that he has no objection to the proposed extension.

This application is supported by the Declaration of Meredith Fahn, Attorney for 

Petitioner. 

Dated: July 21, 2008 /s/ Meredith Fahn

DECLARATION OF MEREDITH FAHN 

I, MEREDITH FAHN, do declare: 

1. I am attorney for petitioner Jo’Von Jordan, appointed by the court on September 

26, 2006 (#8) to represent him in his petition for writ of habeas corpus, filed by 

petitioner in pro se on July 19, 2006. (#1) 

2. Respondents filed their Answer and supporting memorandum of points and 

authorities on February 29, 2008. (#41) Petitioner does wish to file a 

memorandum of points and authorities in reply to the Answer. That reply is due 

July 21, 2008. This is the fifth request for an extension of time to file petitioner’s 

Reply. 

3. I am a solo practitioner, and my processing of cases has been disrupted was 

earlier disrupted because I had a miscarriage in the latter half of May. By now I 

have recuperated from that, but I was ill with a fever in the past week, which set 

me back with my completion of the petitioner’s reply papers. 

4. I have been working diligently on the reply papers, but am not ready to file them. 

The reply papers are nearly completed; however, in the next week, I must also file 

an appellant’s opening brief in Olivas v. Neven, United States Court of Appeals, 

9

th Circuit, no. 8-15330. With that in mind, the time requested will be sufficient 

for me to finalize the nearly-completed Reply papers in the instant case. 

Accordingly, I do need the additional time requested.
