SCHEDULING NOTICE TEXT ONLY ENTRY (In Chambers) by Magistrate Judge Brianna Fuller Mircheff. Either party may file objections to this Court's findings and recommendations under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l)(C). By Local Rule, the objections period in a case involving a person in custody is presumptively 20 days. See L.R. 72-3.4. However, the Court finds that a shortened objection period is warranted here given the nature of the relief at issue. See United States v. Barney, 568 F.2d 134, 136 (9th Cir. 1978) (per curiam) (holding that a district court has the discretion to shorten the objection period). Accordingly, the parties must submit any objections to this Report and Recommendation on or before February 18, 2026; any responses to those objections must be filed no later than February 20, 2026. 15 THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY.
