ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF

TIME TO FILE RESPONSE TO

PETITION

 

(DOCUMENT #12)

Petitioner is a prisoner proceeding pro se in a habeas corpus action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On May 19, 2006, respondent filed a motion to extend time to file a response to the petition for writ of

habeas corpus. On June 9, 2006, and during the pendency of this request, respondent submitted an

answer to the petition for writ of habeas corpus. The Court notes petitioner’s objection to the request

for an enlargement of time filed on behalf of respondent. However, it is not the practice of this Court

to grant motions for enlargements of time blindly. The Court reviews each motion carefully and grants

those that show good cause. It is not unusual for a government agency to be overburdened and request

additional time. Where good cause is shown, the Court accommodates the requests. The Court does

not, however, grant unlimited extensions. Accordingly, the request for an extension of time is

GRANTED nunc pro tunc to May 18, 2006.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
