MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Cristina D. Silva on 10/21/2026. I ordered the respondents to show cause by October 19, 2026, why they should not be sanctioned for violating the non-transfer provision set forth in the August 3, 2026 service order. ECF No. 15. The respondents now move for a four-day extension of time to respond, representing that additional time is necessary to obtain details and documentation from ICE. ECF No. 16 . Based on counsel's representations, I find good cause to allow the requested extension. It is therefore ordered that the respondents' motion (ECF No. 16 ) is granted, nunc pro tunc to the date of the request. The deadline for the respondents to file a response is extended to October 23, 2026. (no image attached) (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - JLB) (Entered: 10/21/2026)
