Petitioner,

WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,
Respondents.

In this capital habeas corpus action, after a 62-day extension of time, Petitioner

13

Travers A. Greene, represented by appointed counsel, was due to file a second amended

14

habeas petition by April 6, 2020. (ECF Nos. 113, 115.)

15

On April 6, 2020, Greene filed a motion for extension of time requesting a further

16

30-day extension of time, to May 6, 2020, to file his second amended petition. (ECF No.

17

116.) Greene’s counsel states that the extension of time is necessary because of delay

18

caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. (Id. at 2–3.) Respondents do not oppose the motion

19

for extension of time.

20

The Court finds that Greene’s motion for extension of time is made in good faith

21

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

22

time requested.

23

It is therefore ordered that Petitioner’s motion for extension of time (ECF No. 116)

24

is granted. Petitioner will have until and including May 6, 2020, to file his second amended

25

habeas petition.
