MINUTE ORDER granting Defendant KYLER JOSEPH BARD's 73 Motion for Extension of Time to File Response to Government's Opposition to Defendant's Motion for Post Conviction Relief. Response shall be due on or before December 5, 2025. Signed by Judge Amit P. Mehta on 11/13/2025. (lcapm3)

Judge Amit P. Mehta granted Defendant Kyler Joseph Bard an extension to file his response to the government's opposition to his motion for post-conviction relief. The court set the new deadline for Bard's response on or before December 5, 2025.

This order came on November 13, 2025, reflecting the court’s willingness to allow more time for Bard to address the government's arguments. The case remains active, with the post-conviction relief motion pending. Bard initially filed the motion seeking relief after his conviction, prompting the government to oppose it.

The extension suggests Bard’s counsel requested additional time to prepare a thorough reply, possibly to address complex legal or factual issues raised by the government. The court has not indicated any change to the underlying schedule beyond this extension.

The next key step will be Bard’s submission of his response by the new deadline, which will determine how the court proceeds with the post-conviction relief motion. Judge Mehta’s order does not resolve the motion itself but keeps the case moving forward.

The docket does not specify the original filing dates or the court’s jurisdiction, but the procedural posture centers on the post-conviction relief phase. This stage often involves detailed legal arguments about the validity of the conviction or sentence, making timely responses critical.

The government’s opposition and Bard’s forthcoming reply will shape the court’s decision on whether to grant any relief.
