IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
JUAN GONZALEZ MARTINEZ,
Petitioner,
vs.
SHAUN SETTLES,
Respondent.
8:20CV372
ORDER
This matter is before me on Petitioner’s Motion Requesting Additional
Designation of State Court Records (the “Motion for Additional Designation Records”),
Filing No. 82, and Motion for an Extension of Time to File a Brief in Response to
Respondent’s Answer (the “Motion for Extension”), Filing No. 83. Petitioner states that
Respondent’s Designation of State Court Records, Filing No. 77, is insufficient and
seeks four additional records specified in the Motion for Additional Designation Records.
Filing No. 82. Counsel for Petitioner also seeks a 30-day extension of Petitioner’s
October 31, 2025, brief deadline because counsel needs the additional records
requested in the Motion for Additional Designation Records to complete the brief and
due to counsel’s upcoming schedule. Counsel for Respondent does not object to the
continuance. Filing No. 83. Upon consideration,
IT IS ORDERED that:
1. Respondent shall file a response to Petitioner’s Motion for Additional
Designation Records, Filing No. 82, on or before November 17, 2025. Respondent may
attach additional records to his response if he deems appropriate.
