In this habeas corpus action, on April 7, 2021, the Court ordered the petitioner,

13

David Michael Pellegrini, represented by appointed counsel, to show cause why this

14

action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and/or for failure to comply with

15

the Court’s orders. See Order entered April 7, 2021 (ECF No. 132). Pellegrini filed his

16

response to the order to show cause on May 8, 2021 (ECF No. 133). Respondents’

17

reply was then due on June 7, 2021. See Order entered April 7, 2021 (ECF No. 132)

18

(30 days for reply).

19

On June 7, 2021, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No.

20

136), requesting a seven-day extension of time, to June 14, 2021, for their reply.

21

Respondents’ counsel states that the extension of time is necessary primarily because

22

of her obligations in other cases. The Court determines that Respondents’ motion for

23

extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that

24

there is good cause for the extension of time.
