MELVIN M. HUDSPATH, Petitioner, v. KYLE OLSON, et al., Respondents.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION
(ECF NO. 57)
LARRY R. HICKS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This habeas matter is before the Court on Petitioner's motion to extend the deadline to file and serve his reply supporting his Third Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (ECF No. 57). The reply is currently due on April 3, 2023. This is the first request to extend this deadline, and it is not opposed. Counsel seeks an additional 60 days, up to and including June 2, 2023, to file the reply, arguing that more time is needed due to the complexity and number of issues raised in this proceeding. The Court finds that good cause exists to extend the deadline.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Petitioner's Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply in Support of Petition (ECF No. 57) is GRANTED. Petitioner's deadline to file a reply is EXTENDED to June 2, 2023.
