UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE FIRST AMENDED PETITION
(FIRST REQUEST)
RICHARD E. BOULWARE II UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Petitioner Thomas Supranovich asks this Court to enter an Order extending his deadline for filing his first amended § 2254 petition from February 3, 2023, by 90 days until May 4, 2023. This is Supranovich's first request for an extension. Respondents do not oppose this request.
Points And Authorities
Supranovich filed a pro se 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for writ of habeas and a request for appointment of counsel with this Court on July 2, 2021. On July 15, 2022, this Court granted Supranovich's request for appointment of counsel and appointed the Federal Public Defender. On August 8, 2022, undersigned counsel appeared for Supranovich.
ECF Nos. 1-1, 1-2.
ECF No. 7.
ECF No. 10.
Counsel has been diligently working on Supranovich's case. Since appointment, counsel has obtained court records, prior counsel's records, and met with client. Counsel is currently seeking an expert to assess Supranovich's claims. Accordingly, Supranovich requests a 90-day extension to file his amended petition by May 4, 2023.
On February 1, 2023, counsel for Respondents, Deputy Attorney General Trisha Chapman, indicated by email that Respondents do not oppose this request with the understanding that Respondents' lack of objection is not waiver of any procedural defenses or statute of limitations challenges or construed as agreeing with the accuracy of the representations made in this Motion.
Respectfully submitted.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
