MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 2/19/2026.Before the Court is Respondents' Motion to Extend Time (ECF No. 9 ). Through it, Respondents seek an additional five days to respond to this Court's Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 6 ). The Court has reviewed the Motion and finds that good cause exists for a modest two-day extension of this deadline. Nonetheless, the Court declines to grant a five-day extension, as the Court does not find good cause for a longer extension at this time. In reaching this result, the Court relies on the following findings:1. While the Court acknowledges Respondents' Counsel's significant case load, the Court notes that this case load is a direct result of Respondents' own conduct.2. Petitioner's liberty is at stake in this case. See generally ECF No. 1 (Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus). As such, Petitioner is directly prejudiced by unnecessary delays in the resolution of this case.3. This is a habeas matter. As such, this Court is required to promptly address Petitioner's claims. See Yong v. I.N.S., 208 F.3d 1116, 1120 (9th Cir. 2000) (citation omitted).Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED Respondents' Motion to Extend Time (ECF No. 9 ) is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Respondents now have up to, and including, February 20, 2026, to respond to this Court's Order to Show Cause. Petitioner now has up to, and including, February 23, 2026, to reply.
