Petitioner,

v.

ORDER

TIMOTHY FILSON, et al.,
Respondents.

16

In this capital habeas corpus action, the respondents are due to file an answer by

17

October 1, 2018. See Order entered July 2, 2018 (ECF No. 260) (90 days from July 2 for

18

answer).

19

On September 26, 2018, Respondents filed a motion for an extension of time (ECF

20

No. 261), requesting a 45-day extension of time, to November 15, 2018, for the answer.

21

This would be the first extension of this deadline. Respondents’ counsel states that the

22

extension of time is necessary because of her obligations in other cases and time away

23

from her office. The petitioner does not oppose the motion for extension of time. The

24

Court finds that Respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not

25

solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for the extension of time

26

requested.
