KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendant, by and through defendant's counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:
1. By previous order, the government was to file its opposition to defendant's petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 no later than 8/05/2016. Petitioner was then to file a reply no later than 8/19/2016.
2. By this stipulation, the parties now jointly move to amend the briefing schedule such that the government may file its opposition no later than 8/24/2016, while Petitioner may file any reply no later than 9/07/2016.
3. The parties request this extension of time because defendant has indicated that he may wish to withdraw his petition, and his attorney needs additional time to speak with him to confirm that that is in fact his intention.
4. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find, that the proposed amended briefing schedule is fair and will not significantly prejudice either party.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the United States may file its opposition to petitioner's motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 no later than 8/24/2016. Petitioner may file any reply no later than 9/07/2016.
