(Text-Only) TEXT ORDER. Respondents move for an extension of time to respond to Petitioner's motion for attorney's fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act. (Doc. No. 20 .) Respondents state that they are considering whether to appeal the Court's judgment and request an extension until one week after the appeal period expires. The motion does not establish good cause for the requested extension. The possibility that Respondents may appeal does not, standing alone, explain why they cannot timely respond to the pending EAJA motion or why the existing deadline cannot reasonably be met. Accordingly, the motion is denied insofar as it seeks an extension until August 3, 2026. Respondents shall file their response on or before July 9, 2026. Ordered by Judge Jerry W. Blackwell on 7/2/2026. (CRD) (Entered: 07/02/2026)
