Opinion
No. CV-03-701 PHX-DGC.
December 4, 2009
ORDER
United States Magistrate Judge Charles Pyle issued a report and recommendation ("R R") recommending that Petitioner's habeas corpus petition be denied. Dkt. #68. Petitioner filed an objection and Respondents filed a response. Dkt. ##75, 87.
On November 23, 2009, Petitioner filed a motion seeking a 30-day extension of the time to file a reply. Dkt. #91. Respondents oppose the motion on the ground that reply briefs are not authorized under Rule 72(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Dkt. #92. Because Petitioner is proceeding pro se, and in the interest of justice, the Court will grant Petitioner's motion. Petitioner shall have until December 23, 2009 to file a reply. No further extensions will be granted. The Court will rule on the R R and the pending motions (Dkt. ##72, 76, 77) once the time for filing a reply has expired.
IT IS ORDERED:
1. Petitioner's motion for an extension of time to file reply (Dkt. #91) is granted.
2. Petitioner shall have until December 23, 2009 to file a reply. No further extensions will be granted.
