Daniel Wolff, Petitioner v. Brian Williams, et al., Respondents
ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME
[ECF NO. 52]
JENNIFER A. DORSEY. U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
Respondents, through counsel, bring a motion for extension of time to file their answer to the second amended petition for writ of habeas corpus in this case. When I granted counsel's prior request for an extension, I warned that no further extensions would be permitted, absent extraordinary circumstances. I am not convinced that counsel's proffered reasons for her current request, i.e., her workload and high turnover within the Nevada Attorney General's Office, qualify as extraordinary circumstances. I also note, however, that petitioner's counsel does not oppose the motion and the time requested (21 days) is relatively short. So I grant the motion, but I will not permit any further extensions under any circumstances.

See ECF No. 51.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that respondents' motion to extend time [ECF No. 52] is GRANTED. Respondents have until May 1, 2023, to file their answer. The court will not accept an answer from the respondents after that date.
