TEXT ONLY ORDER re 9 REQUEST for Extension of Filing Deadline: Respondents filed a document titled "Federal Respondent's Request for Extension of Filing Deadline," but the document contains no extension request. Instead, Respondents reiterate previous mootness arguments and fail to respond to any of the points the Court ordered them to brief. (See Doc. No. 8 .) Given the nonresponsiveness and failure to actually request an extension, the Court will give Respondents until 11:59 p.m. today, February 24, 2026, to respond on the points previously ordered by the Court. Petitioner's reply deadline remains the same. (See Doc. No. 8 .) Ordered by Judge Donovan W. Frank on 2/24/2026.(las) (Entered: 02/24/2026)
