ORDER GRANTING
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
[ECF No. 181]

WILLIAM REUBART, et al.,
Respondents.

In this capital habeas corpus action, the Court granted in part and denied in part

11

Respondents’ motion to dismiss on November 22, 2021 (ECF No. 179). In that order, the Court

12

gave Respondents 180 days, until May 23, 2022, to file an answer, responding to the remaining

13

claims in Petitioner Travers A. Greene’s second amended habeas petition, and the Court ordered

14

that Greene would then have 180 days to file a reply to the answer. Order entered November 22,

15

2021 (ECF No. 179), pp. 43–44.

16

On May 23, 2022, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 181),

17

requesting a 120-day extension, to September 20, 2022, to file their answer. Respondents’

18

counsel states that the extension of time is necessary because of his obligations in other cases,

19

and time away from his work. Petitioner does not oppose the motion for extension of time. The

20

Court finds that Respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely

21

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