Before the court is a motion by respondent warden Ron Davis, through his counsel

21 California Deputy Attorney General Craig Meyers, to extend the deadline for filing his
22 opposition brief on the application of 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d) to all claims in the amended petition
23 from February 16, 2020 to April 16, 2020.

This extension of time, respondent’s fifth, is

24 necessary due to the voluminous pleadings and record, the number and complexity of issues
25 raised, and Deputy Attorney General Meyers’ responsibilities in other matters and medical
26 issues.
27

Deputy Attorney General Meyers represents that counsel for petitioner, Assistant Federal

28 Defender Harry Simon, does not oppose the requested extension.
