PAPERLESS ORDER on Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Defendant Philippe Bien-Aime's Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File a Responsive Pleading to the Government's Complaint to Revoke Naturalization (the "Motion"), ECF No. 8 . In the Motion, Defendant states that his counsel "filed a notice of appearance on April 27, 2026," which is the same day the response to the Complaint is due. See ECF No. 8 at 1. Defendant therefore asks the Court to extend the deadline to respond to the Government's Complaint by thirty days. See id. Defendant notes that the Government has no objection to the requested relief. See id. Although Defense counsel's recent retainer provides good cause for an extension of time, Defendant does not explain why there is good cause for a 30-day extension. Accordingly, the Motion, ECF No. 8, is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Defendant shall file his Response to the Government's Complaint no later than May 18, 2026. Signed by Magistrate Judge Marty Fulgueira Elfenbein on 4/27/2026. (MFE) (Entered: 04/27/2026)
