ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME (ECF NO. 256)

WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,
Respondents.

In this capital habeas corpus action, on May 25, 2021, the petitioner, William P.

14

Castillo, represented by appointed counsel, filed his opening brief on remand (ECF No.

15

255). Respondents were then due on July 26, 2021, to file their responding brief. See

16

Order entered January 25, 2021 (ECF No. 252) (60 days for responding brief).

17

On July 26, 2021, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No.

18

256), requesting a 60-day extension of time, to September 24, 2021, to file their

19

responding brief on remand. This would be the first extension of this deadline.

20

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

21

obligations in other cases and obligations with respect to administrative matters in the

22

Office of the Attorney General. Petitioner does not oppose the motion for extension of

23

time. The Court finds that the motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not

24

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

25

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of Time

26

(ECF No. 256) is GRANTED. Respondents will have until and including September 24,

27

2021, to file their responding brief on remand.
