STIPULATION AND ORDER

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO

FILE GOVERNMENT’S RETURN

MEMORANDUM AND STATUS

REPORT

STIPULATION

This case is a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The Government’s Return

Memorandum and Motion to Dismiss is currently due on September 19, 2006. The

Petitioner continues to assess his options regarding the retention of counsel in Texas

(where he is now detained on a criminal matter) and requires additional time to consider

the status of his representation before this matter is heard. Petitioner is not certain

whether there will be any need to pursue this habeas petition further, and is willing to

agree that the Government need not file a Return Memorandum by September 19, 2006.

Therefore, the parties HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE that the Government

be given an additional two-week extension of time in which to file its return

memorandum and motion to dismiss. Accordingly, the parties further STIPULATE,
