TRAVERS A. GREENE,

Petitioner,

ORDER

v.

WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,
Respondents.

12

In this capital habeas corpus action, Petitioner Travers A. Greene, represented by

13

appointed counsel, filed a second amended habeas petition on May 6, 2020. (ECF No.

14

119.) After extensions of 60 and 31 days, the Respondents were due to respond to the

15

second amended petition by October 5, 2020. (See ECF Nos. 113, 122, 124.)

16

On September 25, 2020, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF

17

No. 125), requesting a further 60-day extension of time, which would make their response

18

due on December 4, 2020. Respondents’ counsel states that the extension of time is

19

necessary because of his obligations in other cases. Petitioner does not oppose the

20

motion for extension of time.

21

The Court finds that Respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good

22

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

23

of time requested. The Court will grant the motion for extension of time. The Court will

24

not, however, look favorably upon any further motion to extend this deadline.

25

It is therefore ordered that Respondents’ motion for extension of time (ECF No.

26

125) is granted. Respondents will have until and including December 4, 2020, to file an

27

answer or other response to Petitioner’s second amended habeas petition.
