UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff/Respondent, v. JOHN LERMA, Defendant/Movant.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR EXTENSION
OF TIME TO FILE OBJECTIONS
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Defendant/Movant's Motion for Extension of Time to File Objections (Doc. 19), filed March 11, 2013. Defendant/Movant asks for an additional thirty (30) days in which to file objections to the Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition (Doc. 12) (hereinafter, "PF&RD"), because he states that he needs time to research the law and that the additional time will not prejudice the Government. [Doc. 17 at 1]. The Court notes that Defendant/Movant has already received one extension of time to file objections to the PF&RD because he was in transit from one facility to another and did not receive a copy of the PF&RD, and that Defendant/Movant's objections were due March 11, 2013. See [Doc. 18]. The Court will grant one more extension of time for Defendant/Movant to file objections to the PF&RD. Any further requests for an extension of time will be denied absent a showing of exceptional circumstances.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant/Movant's Motion for Extension of Time to File Objections (Doc. 19) is GRANTED and Defendant/Movant may file objections to the PF&RD on or before April 10, 2013.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
