Order by Judge Philip A. Brimmer on 9/21/2026, re: 6 Unopposed Motion for a One-Week Extension of Time to Respond to the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1] is DENIED. Pursuant to the Court's practice standards, "motions for extension of time require a showing of good cause, which must be established with particularity," and "[a]ny motion for extension of time shall be filed no later than three business days before the date the motion, response, reply, or other paper is due." Practice Standards (Civil Cases), Judge Philip A. Brimmer, § I.G.1-2. Respondents assert that they need additional time "to gather factual information related to the legal arguments presented in this case, to evaluate how best to respond to those arguments, and to prepare an appropriate response." Docket No. 6 at 1-2. These generalized statements do not establish good cause with particularity or explain any exigent circumstances showing why respondents could not evaluate petitioner's arguments in the time allotted to them. Moreover, respondents' response is due today, September 21, 2026. Thus, respondents have not filed the motion for an extension of time three business days in advance, as required by the Court's practice standards. Text Only Entry(pabsec, ) (Entered: 09/21/2026)
