(Text-Only) ORDER. Petitioner's counsel, recently retained, has filed a letter brief seeking extension of the July 16, 2026 deadline to reply to Respondents' answer. Counsel indicates he is not available through July 16, 2006, and thus seeks an extension through July 23, 2026 - one week from when he returns from vacation. Petitioner's counsel represents that the government "would only agree to a deadline of July 20, 2026." Petitioner's motion is GRANTED. The deadline for any reply to Respondents' answer is now July 23, 2026. Should the government seek reconsideration of this Order, they shall file a memorandum indicating the basis for their opposition no later than July 14, 2026. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Micko on 7/13/2026. (CRD) Modified text on 7/13/2026 (CRD). (Entered: 07/13/2026)
