TRAVERS A. GREENE,

Petitioner,

ORDER

v.

Case No. 2:07-cv-00304-MMD-DJA

WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,

10

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.) Respondents filed a motion to dismiss on March 9, 2021. (ECF No. 129.) Petitioner

15

was due to respond to the motion to dismiss on May 10, 2021. (See ECF No. 113 (60

16

days for response—May 8 is a Saturday).)

17

On May 7, 2021, Petitioner filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 160),

18

requesting an extension of time to June 7, 2021, to respond to the motion to dismiss. That

19

would be a 28-day extension of time. Petitioner’s counsel states that the extension of time

20

is necessary because of her obligations in other cases. Respondents do not oppose the

21

motion for extension of time.

22

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

23

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

24

time requested.

25

It is therefore ordered that Petitioner’s motion for extension of time (ECF No. 160)

26

is granted. Petitioner will have until and including June 7, 2021, to respond to the motion

27

to dismiss.
