ORDER AMENDING RESPONSE DEADLINE--To the extent counsel for Petitioner desires to supplement the original Petition or file an Amended Petition that entirely supersedes the original, Petitioner shall do so on or before February 12, 2026.

Whether or not Petitioner files a supplement or Amended Petition, Respondents shall file a response no later than February 19, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. The response shall address the substance of the original Petition, the original Petition as supplemented, or the Amended Petition depending on what action counsel for Petitioner has taken by the February 12, 2026 deadline..
