Silva v. Russell

Opinion

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 10 11 GARY SILVA, Case No. 3:20-cv-00270-RCJ-WGC 12 Petitioner, ORDER 13 v. 14 RUSSELL, et al., 15 Respondents. 16 17 Respondents have filed a motion for leave to file exhibits in camera and under seal (ECF 18 No. 12). The exhibits in question are probation violation reports. These reports contain 19 confidential information. The court finds compelling reasons to file this document under seal. 20 See Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172 (9th Cir. 2006). 21 Petitioner has filed a motion for enlargement of time (first request) (ECF No. 15) and a 22 request to amend his petition for a writ of habeas corpus (ECF No. 16).1 The court grants the 23 enlargement motion and denies the amendment motion. 24 In the motion for enlargement of time, petitioner states that he has limited access to legal 25 resources. He has demonstrated good cause for an extension of time to file a response to the 26 motion to dismiss (ECF No. 9). 27

28 1 The two motions are in the same document. The clerk of the court has docketed each motion separately. 1 In the request to amend his petition, petitioner states that both the court and respondents 2 || are confused over what petitioner actually is claiming. However, petitioner has not submitted a 3 || proposed amended petition with his motion, as required by LR 15-1(a). The court will deny this 4 || request to amend the petition. 5 IT THEREFORE IS ORDERED that respondents’ motion for leave to file exhibits in 6 || camera and under seal (ECF No. 12) is GRANTED. 7 IT FURTHER IS ORDERED that petitioner's motion for enlargement of time (first 8 || request) (ECF No. 15) is GRANTED. Petitioner will have up to and including April 30, 2021, to 9 | file a response to the motion to dismiss (ECF No. 9). 10 IT FURTHER IS ORDERED that petitioner's request to amend his petition for a writ of 11 | habeas corpus (ECF No. 16) is DENIED. 12 DATED: April 29, 2021. 13 A .
