CAROLYN K. DELANEY, Magistrate Judge.
Respondent United States of America, by and through its attorneys of record, Phillip A. Talbert, United States Attorney, and William S. Wong, Assistant United States Attorney, hereby request an extension of time until March 13, 2017, in which to file its answering brief to defendant Javaris Tubbs's section 2255 petition.
Counsel for the Government needs additional time to complete its research and to write its opposition with the following reason: counsel for the Government needs additional time to complete its research and write its opposition in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Beckles v. United States, No. 15-8544, which was announced yesterday, March 6, 2017, which will have a sufficient impact on the Government's response to defendant's 2255 petition.
Carolyn M. Wiggin, counsel for defendant, does not oppose the Government's request.
The Court, having received, read, and considered the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing, adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order.
It is further ordered that the Government's answering brief to defendant's section 2255 petition is now due March 13, 2017.
