LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, Chief District Judge.
On July 29, 2019, defendant, JAVIER HARO, filed a pro se motion to vacate his sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. ECF 33. On October 22, 2019, this Court issued an order directing the Office of the Federal Defender to file a supplement or other appropriate response no later than December 23, 2019. ECF 45.
The undersigned is the attorney responsible for assisting defendants convicted in the Eastern District of California seeking relief under Rehaif v. United States, 139 S.Ct. 2191 (2019). The undersigned has written to Mr. Haro but because of the delays associated with the prison mail system, the undersigned seeks this 30-day extension of time to file the response ordered by the Court. Accordingly, the undersigned respectfully requests an extension until January 22, 2020, to file a supplement or other appropriate response to defendant's pro se motion. A proposed order is lodged herewith.
Government counsel, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey A. Spivak, has been informed of this request and has no opposition thereto.
Pursuant to defendant's request, and good cause appearing therefor, the Office of the Federal Defender is directed to file a supplement or other appropriate response to defendant's pro se motion on or before January 22, 2020.
The Government shall file its response to Petitioner's motion no later than March 20, 2020. Petitioner's reply to the Government's response shall be filed no later than May 20, 2020.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
