KEVIN JAMES LISLE,

Petitioner,

ORDER

v.

Case No. 2:03-cv-1006-MMD-CWH

WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,

10

Respondents.

12

In this capital habeas corpus action, Respondents filed their answer on October 1,

13

2018 (ECF No. 318). Petitioner Kevin James Lisle was then due to file a reply to the

14

answer by November 15, 2018. (See Order entered March 17, 2017 (ECF No. 284).)

15

On November 7, 2018, Lisle filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 319),

16

requesting that the time for his reply be extended by sixty days, to January 14, 2019.

17

Lisle’s counsel states that the extension of time is necessary because of his obligations

18

in other cases. The Court finds that Lisle’s motion for extension of time is made in good

19

faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for the extension

20

of time he requests.
It is therefore ordered that Petitioner’s motion for extension of time (ECF No. 319)

21
22

is granted. Petitioner will have until January 14, 2019, to file a reply to the answer.

23

It is further ordered that, in all other respects, the schedule for further proceedings

24

set forth in the order entered March 17, 2017 (ECF No. 284) will remain in effect.

as the respondent warden.
