MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) by Magistrate Judge Brianna Fuller Mircheff: Order Setting Briefing Schedule: The Court previously ordered Petitioner to file any amended petition no later than June 17, 2026. (ECF 32.) Petitioner's counsel sought a 30-day extension of that deadline, expressing some doubt about whether his client had authorized him to file such an amended petition. (ECF 33 .) Nearly simultaneously, Petitioner, purporting to act in pro per, filed an amended Petition. (ECF 34.) Before ordering a response to the amended pleading, the Court needs clarification about whether counsel still represents Petitioner. To that end, the Court grants in part the Application for extension of time and extends the previously set deadline to July 6, 2026. By that date, Petitioner's counsel shall either file a request to withdraw as counsel or a (counseled) amended petition. Respondents need not respond to the pro se amended petition unless ordered to do so. IT IS SO ORDERED. (jm) (Entered: 06/22/2026)
