ORDER
This matter is before the Court on self-represented Petitioner Shah Mahmood Selab’s
Motion Seeking Extension of Time to File Reply Brief. (Doc. 10). His Reply is currently due on

his Motion to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 2255.
Petitioner seeks a thirty-day extension because he cannot speak, read, or write in the English
language, and requires assistance from a third-party translator. Having reviewed the request, the
Court finds the Motion for Extension is well-taken and will grant the motion.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Petitioner Shah Mahmood Selab’s Motion Seeking
Extension of Time to File Reply Brief, (Doc. 10), is GRANTED and Petitioner shall file his Reply
Brief by March 5, 2026.
