MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable District Judge Anne R. Traum on 5/22/2026. On May 21, 2026, Respondents filed a motion to extend the deadline by seven days, to May 28, 2026. (ECF No. 9.) Petitioner opposed. (ECF No. 10.) Respondents assert that their request takes into account the upcoming Memorial Day holiday which may extend the requisite time needed to obtain the pertinent documents. (ECF No. 9 at 8.) Respondents assert that they have been diligently attempting to obtain the documents necessary to formulate a meaningful response but they do not elaborate on their attempts or the reason for the delay. Regardless, given the short length of the extension request that covers a federal holiday, the Court grants Respondents' motion. Respondents shall have until May 28, 2026, to file their response.(no image attached) (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - AGM) (Entered: 05/22/2026)
