Petitioner,

ORDER ON EX PARTE MOTION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, (ECF 5)
Respondent. 14 Pending before the Court is an ex parte motion to continue the briefing schedule on the habeas petition. (ECF 5). Respondent’s counsel miscalendared the response deadline. (ECF 5-1).

The Court therefore GRANTS the ex parte motion. See Laurino v. Syringa Gen. Hosp., 279 F.3d 750, 753 (9th Cir. 2002); Hon. M.
