MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 6/23/2026: Petitioner has submitted an unopposed request to extend his deadline to file a reply until 6/29/2026. (ECF No. 15 .) This request is GRANTED. However, given the demands of these immigration cases, the court expects that all parties comply with the court-ordered schedule in order to expedite the resolution of these time-sensitive matters. Petitioner was appointed counsel on 5/1/2026, and counsel was ordered to file a reply by 5/11/2026. (ECF Nos. 10 & 11 .) Counsel has since sought three requests for continuances that will push back the filing date to 6/29/2026. While the court recognizes counsel's efforts to obtain further documentation, the court is hesitant to allow such continuances in the future, particularly in light of its consistent demands in all immigration cases that the U.S. Attorney's Office timely comply with its orders. Accordingly, absent exceptional circumstances, the court will not grant any further continuances. (Text Only Entry). (Deputy Clerk NAC) (Entered: 06/23/2026)
