April 22, 2020 Filing 23 +++ SEALED -- TRANSCRIPT before Judge Sue E. Myerscough. Court Reporter: K.S. (MAS, ilcd)
April 15, 2020 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER: The Government has filed a Notice #22 requesting to be allowed fourteen days to file additional briefing. As noted in the Notice, Petitioner's counsel objects to any extension for additional briefing beyond ten days. While the Court recognizes the Government's need for time to gather information for its response, there is also a need to expeditiously brief and decide this Petition, as Petitioner's attorney argued at the hearing on April 13, 2020. While the Court recognizes the additional matters to which the Government must respond, in Case 20-cv-2082 the Petitioner has agreed to a 14-day extension, which should lessen the Government's burden. Accordingly, the Court orders that the Government's additional briefing is due on or before April 24, 2020. Petitioner may file a reply on or before April 27, 2020. As the Court's injunctive relief ordering Petitioner's immediate relief was granted, in part, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b), the Court interprets the Government's Notice as consenting to an extension of the temporary restraining order for the purpose of filing additional briefing. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(2). Accordingly, to the extent Petitioner's release is based on the Court's authority under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b), the order does not expire for an additional 21 days from today. However, to the extent Petitioner's release is based on the Court's inherent authority in habeas corpus proceedings, it does not expire until further order of this Court. Entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 4/15/2020. (MAS, ilcd)
